So this past week was stressful to say the least. I pretty much lived in the library. I had a midterm in my Social Problems class, so most of my week was spent trying to not fail. I was also working on a project for my Three Dimensional design class that broke three times...so that was lovely. On Thursday, I also remembered that I had a project due for my Art History class the next day (procrastination is always a good idea until it's not) so I had to walk around the campus and find something that shared a similarity with a building, painting, or sculpture from the Renaissance. On a good note I actually did find a something that worked well for the project. At the end of the week I had to actually take my midterm for my Social Problems class so that was as fun as you would imagine it to be. On Saturday, I got to help with my first USA Day and that was a really cool experience to interact with everybody who is interested in South. All in all, studying and procrastinating pretty much

It probably seems weird to have multiple study places, but where I decide to study depends on what I'm trying to get done. It basically depends on how much I need to study and how much I want to focus on what I'm doing. With that being said, here are my top 4 places to study on campus: 1. My room: This probably isn't the best idea, but I usually study in my room if I have to study for something that I pretty much already know the information on already. 2. The study room in Azalea: The study rooms in the residence hall buildings are great for having a quiet place to study. It's also extremely convenient. 3. The student center: I don't study here as often as the other places, but it is nice to study and be around food options if you need to take a break to eat. 4. The Library: This is my favorite place to study, especially if I need to study for hours. It also helps that there's a Starbucks inside.

Before starting college I already thought of myself as an "independent" person, but moving from home to go to college really amplifies independence. I realized I took a lot of things for granted before I lived alone, but college really put a lot of that into perspective. College has taught me independence through maintaining schoolwork, as well as physical and mental health, so I can function semi normally.
