Adjusting to college life. D2L module

      The adjusting to college life D2L module was very helpful to me. First of all it showed me that a lot of other college students are having the same problems as me. For example; feeling homesick and making time for school work. This module introduced me to new resources to better my education. It also motivated me to make time each day for physical activity. And exercising relieves my stress and makes me feel better. I encourage everyone to do this online module. The biggest thing I got out of it is it showed me that I am not alone!

Connections between classes

      Being in school for about a month now, I realized that you can make many connections between classes. It also helps that UWEC is a liberal arts school. This opportunity makes it easy to become a well rounded student. The biggest connection I see comes from my writing class. This class prepares you for writing papers in college. When I am writing papers for other classes I notice that I use techniques that were learned in my writing class. Another example of connections between classes comes from Geography and Economics. In Economics we talk about the factors that change our economy. In Geography we learn that the economy plays a big roll in things like food production and population growth. Making these connections shows how each class is just as important as the next.  

Back from Home

      Just got back to Eau Claire. It was good to spend some time with the family back at home. Ready to get back into my school work tomorrow!

Business Meeting

      Yesterday I attended a business meeting. During this time we learned what is expected of all the business major students. We were given course requirements for the next 4 years. On the online class planner I planned for the next 2 years here at UWEC. This meeting relieved some stress and made me feel more organized for the years ahead!

Almost Forgot

      So forgot about this blog. Trying to remember for next week. Yes I am doing this 5 minutes before class and yes this won't happen again!

college life

      One week and a half into college classes. Did not really know how to manage my time well at the beginning but finally getting the hang of things. I have enough time to do homework and have fun with friends. Looking forward to the coming weeks at UWEC.
