 One of the harder things that I had to do when I was in high school was being a college recruit for sports. I did not like the idea that I had to basically sell myself to coaches if I wanted to play for them. And when I went on some college visits it was always so awkward for me because I was a lot more introverted back then than I am now and I still am today.  It can be especially difficult when meeting the team sometimes because there was one college I went to that I visited and when I met some of the players some of them were actually kind of rude and mean to me which I found very strange because I thought that would not happen. But I found out later that some of the players were intimidated by me so they ended up acting in a different way. With all of that being said about when I was a recruit which was not that long ago. I have sympathy for all the college recruits that I see now because I know what they are most likely going though. But of course, there are exceptions b...

 Procrastination has always been a problem for me I mean I can remember doing it as long as I can remember. And at this point, I just end up doing it without realizing it. And the work that I need to do I just end up doing it. I do not know how else to explain it. because I do not really ever get stressed I guess I have had it what it is a mentality for a very long time. I know that procrastination is very bad for me but I almost can not help it I have done it for so long that it is almost just second nature at this point. But I have decided that I am going to try my hardest to break this habit because I know that if I continue to procrastinate that I will struggle in the next semester. Because of the fact that my sport, volleyball starts next semester. And if I continue to procrastinate I will not be very successful.  I also want to stop because of the paper that I wrote about the topic actually for this class because after I started to do more and more research on the topic ...

 Ever since I was introduced to finals in the 7th grade I have not been very fond of them. And typically I just do average on them and I always wanted to do as good as I could and try to get all A's but to be honest if you do finals in middle school they are just stupid. All they are is another way to get a bad grade and somewhat prepare you for finals in high school. I think that Finals in high school were actually important because they actually determined a lot about the rest of your school career. Because getting into a good college is actually important and will affect the rest of your life. So I did try hard on finals throughout high school but that definitely does not mean that I did really good on them. But I made it to college so I did not do too bad. But now that I am in college my mindset has changed a little bit. I will definitely try my best but I know deep down that I am ok with just passing the class. 

 I like the holidays and all the things that come with them. My two favorite holidays are Christmas and Easter. I have always liked them ever since I was younger. Well sure when I was younger I liked them because I got gifts and got to go on an easter egg hunt.  But now that I am older they have stayed my favorite holidays but not for the same reasons. Sure it is nice to get gifts because nowadays I have to pay for things myself. But I now actually want to see my cousins which is the best part because those are the only times I am certain that I will see them.  Now that I am older I have better learned to appreciate my family because now that I am in college I do not get to see them as much as I would like too. But it is ok it is apart of growing up and I know that when I do see them I have to make the most out of it.

 One thing that I never thought would be so annoying would be when I have to go home. And it is not like I don't want to see my family or anything like that even though before thanksgiving break I was away from home for about 100 days but that is not what is annoying. The fact that I have to move so much stuff when I want to go home and I have a small car and I do not have much room in the car and I am just not looking forward to the process that I am going to have to go through in order to go home next week. And I will have to physically go get my car which is also very annoying, the fact that I have to go to the remote lot and go get my car to bring it back to campus and then move all my things into my car. I just hate the remote lot because it is just such a hassle to go and get my car. And then if you try to keep it on campus the odds are that you will get a ticket and have to pay the school. I just get so annoyed when I go home. But is it worth it? Yes, it is I obviously want ...
