Growing up in my family, we were always taught to work hard and do whatever was asked of us. Although I grew up in a household where my mom did all the chores and we didn't really do that much around the house like reconstruction, working on the car, etc, we still knew that when we got on our own, we would have to do something. I found that when I got out on my own I started cleaning and fixing things. I also realized that learning by actually doing, in this case, wasn't necessary for me to learn effectively. So in my opinion, that was the most important lesson I learned from my parents growing up. Let kids be kids, but when it comes to getting older, you are responsible for getting things done.
My goal this semester is to start exercising and try to find some other extra curricular activities to do. I get too stressed and burnt out when I focus purely on homework. My goal is to start running everyday. With that, find something everyday that I look forward to(ex: a tv show, ward activity, going to the temple, etc) so that I always have some sort of daily fun and relaxation. I have found that although I may be more tired and have less time, I will be happier and plan my time more effectively rather than letting myself have time to procrastinate. So in conclusion, I need to be more involved in other things rather than school to clear my mind to be able to work and learn more effectively.

it sounds like you had a lot of fun as a kid. i also was going to run everyday but i keep finding excuses not to do it!
ReplyDeleteThat is so awsome! I have also just recently started running at least four times a week and it really helps to clear your mind and feel a little more relaxed. Being in college can be very stressful and busy, so i like your plan to find something you enjoy, because that really is important!
