Morning Classes vs. Afternoon Classes

After being in school for three years, I believe that college is all about time management and discipline, and both play a huge role in deciding how you plan out your class schedule. The best part about taking classes is being able to decide whether or not you want to take morning classes or afternoon classes. Being in college also means being involved in different groups and organizations, hanging out with friends, or just finding time to sneak a nap in the middle of the day. In order to do that, it’s best you give yourself an equal amount of time for class and a social life. Both schedules come with their share of pros and cons, but it’s up to you to figure out what suits you and when you will be the most productive. I have decided that morning classes are a better fit for my life style, because although I am not a morning person I like the fact that I can knock out all my classes early in the day and still have the time to fit a nap in before I continue with the rest of my day. Having a class in the afternoon it’s hard to plan out your time before classes because most likely you are sleeping in or being lazy enjoying all the free time you have before class. Morning classes take more discipline than afternoon classes because most classes start at 8 AM and for a college student, especially on those 3 AM nights, waking up and dragging your brain to an 8 AM class isn’t always the best idea. I feel like professors respect the students who have the strength to take morning classes much more than those students who start their day at 12 o’clock because they feel like you actually have the drive to be in class and get your work done. Afternoon classes do not seem to take as much discipline because there is no reason why you cannot get but by 11a.m. and go

    High school classes might have seemed better in the past compared to college. You might feel more comfortable in smaller classes than you would heading off to university, but that is simply from the comfort of your surroundings. You are familiar with your teachers and your closest friends are always by your side. This might create a friendlier environment, but branching away from the only things you have ever known will help you grow as an individual. Leaving home to start your life as an adult can be tough; however, learning every day responsibilities and making new relationships are two things that will benefit anyone who is getting ready to enter the “real world.” Students benefit more from college classes over high school classes because they learn responsibilities and create new relationships which help them to gain independence.…

    The baker in “A Small Good Thing” by Raymond Carver caught my attention from the beginning of the story. He was abrupt with Ann, but it felt like there were reasons that would be explained soon why he was this way. The initial impression I got from him wasn’t likeable but as I got further into the story, there was a spark of compassion in this man that I could relate to. The bakers harassing tendencies and social isolation as a person are not traits I exhibit, where as his strong sense of compassion and emotion is where I can relate more to.…

    Do not overdo it when you schedule classes, especially your first year. It is tempting to overload yourself and find you are struggling later. Be realistic. Overloading your schedule will not help you to learn more, but will actually cause you to learn less overall from spreading yourself too thin. Try to balance your schedule so that you only have to deal with a couple of hard classes in a single semester; fill your schedule out with less demanding classes.…

    When comparing and contrasting the poem “What It's Like to Be a Black Girl” by Patricia Smith with the short story “Country Lovers” By Nadine Gordimer. The character in “What It's Like to Be a Black Girl” is based more upon recent time while “Country Lovers” is based in a older time frame. However, both stories are uniquely about wanting to be loved. The poem and the short story are both great examples of the difficulty of life between two different ethnic backgrounds. While one concentrates more on tragedy the other is faced more with acceptance that leads to tragedy. Love although can't be explained, has many explanations to how one can love. Whether your love goes as deep as loving through tragic times or looking for someone to love you at all times. Both of these stories focus on issues of racism, inner struggles, slavery, prejudice, and the pursuit of freedom as well as equality. At the end, everyone wants and needs to be accepted and will do whatever it takes.…

    In my essay I talk about the baseball field putting me in a good place. The Baseball field is where I feel like my problems go away. The smell of the freshly cut grass and the chalk getting put down I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. The baseball field felt like home to me. When I am playing baseball I don’t worry about any other thing. When I am at the plate it’s just me and the pitcher. Also when I am playing baseball it brings me back to my childhood days when me and my dad where playing catch. Baseball is my family’s favorite sport. My family and I can sit in front of the TV and watch it for hours. My favorite memory of baseball is when I hit a homerun. I was smiling for weeks about it. I could hear my mom cheering so loud. At that time I had two tests that I didn’t study for but I was so focused on baseball it didn’t matter.…

    Getting the right amount of sleep is very important in everyone's life and are especially important for teenagers. Teenagers have what is called their natural sleep clocks. Therefore, waking up early and going to sleep early is difficult. Being a high school student is an extremely hard job to have, but could it benefit teenagers that classes begin and end later in the day? It most defiantly does benefit the teenager, but you cannot forget about the afterschool activities. If high school classes begin and end later in the day, students will be more focused and successful. It is very difficult for a student to wake up early and be expected to stay focused. For example, he or she has to wake up at the crack of dawn to get ready for a long day of school. His or hers first period class is honors English, but are failing because he cannot stay awake…

    On top of that, I plan to take early college classes. Being in AP classes is a true test of one’s perseverance and ability to discipline yourself of being punctual, managing time one’s wisely, and putting nothing but your best in all your work. My sophomore year, I joined AP Human Geography with Mrs. Koanui, and admittedly, I struggled with self-discipline in regards to time management. Thus, resulting in numerous counts of restless nights, along with several other factors concerning social and extracurricular activities, disrupted my focus in the class. Additionally, I turned in countless late works in the third and fourth terms, but taking part in such a rigorous class allowed for me to be a better, more focused, and industrious student in both my current regular and AP classes. Furthermore, I find myself with better time management skills and I currently am able to balance both my studies social interactions, having extra time even. I firmly believe that being a well-rounded student is a key role in success as both an individual and student. I attempt my best to partake in as many clubs as I can, and currently, involved in five other…

    First of all, the college curriculum in the United State is more flexible than in my country. Students can select courses, teachers, and select the desired school. For example, in high school I used to spend seven or eight hours a day, less than half the days of the year but in college I don't have to take a lot of classes a day or some classes I can take at night. This semester I have four classes continuously from 8am to 2pm, only 20 minutes to travel from classroom to classroom, and one class from 7pm to 10pm.…
