If you're still two years from college you have no idea what a shitload of work is. Last year of high school is the WORST. Not even college gets this bad.
Oh no. Freshman year is horrible for me! Partially because my high school did NOT prepare me for college. I almost never had to study in high school. So coming into college, I have no idea how to study. In college, you don't have people holding your hand every step of the way. It's a freedom some people don't know how to cope with. Like me. I procrastinate like hell. I wrote a seven page paper the night before it was due. I wrote speeches I had to perform in class literally right before class started. No one told me this would be an issue, so it kinda hit me hard. If you're not having trouble with it, please share the secrets you have discovered so that I may not give myself a heart attack before I even become a sophomore.
So yeah. You'll want to get into good study habits and rehearse good time management skills, 4maskwolf. Save yourself some pain and agony.
And thanks everyone! If I have any issues with chem, I'll be sure to ask.
Edit: I understand MOWE's pain. Finals and all that. >.>
It's not even finals for me yet. It's just midterm. The main problem is that two of my three exams were in chemistry. And I hate chemistry. I could go on for hours about it...
Organic/Inorganic/Experimental? Because darn was the last one...too technical. u.u
SO about Biology, need help? :3
It's just general chemistry actually. It's just that my professor moves way to fast and there's so much stuff going on... Maybe it won't be so bad for me once we get into more specific things. I dunno.
And thank you for the offer, but the biology I have under control. I love it! And call me crazy, but I love calculus as well.
Freshie year is that generalsubject year which somehow is like a repeat of HS to get you in-tone for college (not that most subjects here are Major for your course [Major = term used for subjects which are REQUIRED for your course//Minor = term for subjects which 'are advised to take which you should because they help or are related to the subject']
I almost never had to study in high school.
*high-five* x3
Yeah. Weird thing is, passing is easy there. College is where the big guns roll!
In college, you don't have people holding your hand every step of the way.
College. The Big World.
It actually shows how reality goes (yeah, I discovered you don't HAVE to ask the teacher for permission to go to the comfort room [or whatever you call the place with the toilet and sink, which I found out is not the general term for such an area. Bathroom?] but just to say that you're going there).
Hence why I like Finland's education. They're hands-on, preparing for Reality.
I procrastinate like hell.
I went
through hell and came back!
You can too. Just don't procrastinate. ^ ^
Yeah it's hard, but first steps are usually just as hard (and the psychological factor of 'being used to', or coloquially called the 'safety zone/box/comfort zone': being used to procrastinating, that is) is also another part. Bonus thing is: It's purely psychological.

Learn from thy mistakes, ma'am! ^ ^
Yeah that's what I also discovered. Shame on our educational system in that situation (training before did not prepare for now).
So yeah. You'll want to get into good study habits and rehearse good time management skills, 4maskwolf. Save yourself some pain and agony.
Note to all those who plan to aim for college or whatever like that:Every. I mean
EVERY person in college repeats this as the 'law' there.
Manage yourself, discard the...extra baggage.

Oh its not the calculus I hated, I LOVED it. I hated the professor because he kept on throwing green jokes around and picking on me because I 'talk to myself' a lot (meaning: I whisper to myself, auditory learning, thinking out loud, AND I GET CALLED OUT AND MADE FUN OF BECAUSE OF IT.)
Also, General Chemistry? Mmm, fun :3
Try to read in advance or find ways on how to understand it. It's easy when you get the hang of it (nomenclatures~ how do they work?) and when you get into the advanced stuff?
More fun.
