i sat down to write a blog and . . .

this is all that comes to mind ;

And just like that we have merely five weeks left in the semester. Seems like things were just getting started, and I was finally getting the hang of this college thing. And just like that my freshman year is almost over. With the semester ending I have so many activities and assignments that I need to start working on and preparing for. 

For example, this blog assignment.

At the beginning of the semester I planned to stay on top of things, blogging at least every 2 or so weeks, just so I wouldn’t be rushing at the end, but ofcourse that plan failed. But I have still a decent amount of time so I decided that I needed get my blog together.

 Actually blogging isn’t as bad as I thought it would be, I actually enjoy writing my feelings down and it helps me gather my thoughts at times. My only problem is when it comes to “blogging for a grade” it doesn’t exactly come as natural as I would like. Its hard thinking of class related topics and making connections. Not to mention having a specific amount of words to write. If I could blog about anything I'm sure my blog would be way past completed. Or maybe I’m just not looking deep enough into my creative side....

Yeah, that’s probably it!

So this blog probably wont be one of my most creative blogs ,but it does directly relate to class. This blog shall just be about my feelings about our semester long project.

First, doing a semester long project isn’t my cup of tea. In my opinion it leaves barely any room for mistakes. However our semester long project is in a way different, and leaves plenty of room for mistakes. Running into problems and making mistakes is driving most of our ideas to fix our selected problems. I don’t have a issue with semester long project, they are easier to focus on. My main problem is that our project is a group project.

I  H A T E group projects.

There's no other way to put it. Group projects are the most annoying projects to me, and it just so happens that this one is semester long. My main issue with group projects is the fact that you have to depend on other people. I hate having to wait around for other people. I wish I could just do everything by myself and get it out the way. But I know that would take the group out of everything. 

Now, I have to take into consideration that we are in college and unlike highschool everyone pretty much cares about their grades and education. Everyone in the group is dedicated to working and completing the project. I think my bad connation comes of “group work” comes from my highschool.

  My highschool might just be one of the worst in the world. Our graduation rates only started rising because our district lowererd the amount of credits we need to graduate, not to mention we haven’t passed a standardized test since they’ve been administerd. Only about half the student care about their education, and even less make it to college.

So imagine trying to do group in a highschool like mine. You can understand my fusteration. As I mentioned before college is a lot different then highschool. However , differnt difficulties still arise. Meeting around everyones schedule is extremley hard, and getting to undertsnad everybodys personalities and work ethic doesn't help either. But I guess, challenges and group work are a part of college and a part of growing up.
