GEN/201 Week 2 Discussion
I have learned that before starting school I had been spending too much time on my phone playing
casino games and generally wasting time. I had also been just sitting around waiting for something
to happen instead of making something happen. I believe that I spent the biggest part of my time
playing on my phone. It's a close tie as to which 'activity' required more of time. I believe I've spent
the most amount of time just sitting around though. Since starting class things have changed. I
hardly pick up my phone to answer it much less play a game. I don't just sit around the house
anymore either. I love going to class and don't have the time to waste. A couple of new habits I've
developed are:
1. Instead of just studying whenever, I've made up a schedule for myself that has study time
blocked out every day. I believe getting and staying on a schedule will help me to get used to
being on a schedule.
2. I've gotten into the habit of going into my bedroom and locking the door when it is time to
study so that I can stay focused on what I am studying and not what everyone in the house is
doing. I believe that will help me to retain more of what I am studying and in the long run, will
help me pass my class.
