Thanks Outline !

One thing that I like about the writing process is outlining. I like outlining before creating a draft or writing a paper because I feel like it makes writing a paper much more easier. It makes it easier because I feel like it organizes my essays by the way a formal outline is used and makes writing my essays more direct and clear. Even though the outline might take a while to create, it is better to create a well written outline than to create an inaccurate outline that will not make writing an essay easier.

So this is how its going.

So far this class is just what I expected. I say what I expected because this class is an accelerated course that I signed up for and I knew what was coming was going to be challenging, but manageable. I feel like I need to take more time when doing work for this class especially, especially with essays. Even though trying to manage my time between school and work can be hard sometimes, I feel like those are just excuses that I bring up just to not do my schoolwork and keep me from focusing on school. I know I can manage school and work because if I did it last semester, I can do it this semester. I think if I put more time and effort into my work I should be fine and should be able to pass this class.

Are cell phones really important ?

Our generation is full of great technology and one of the most addicting pieces of technology is the cell phone. I can't say that I'm addicted to my phone because I can stop using it anytime I want. I mainly use my phone for entertainment like social media: Twitter, Instagram, Reddit. I also use my phone for calling and text but I barely use it for those purposes. So basically I use my phone for it to entertain me when I'm bored.

Being Real

So one of my bad habits that I plan on changing is not not taking school seriously and time management. I usually tend to leave my schoolwork to do at the last minute and I say to myself that I work better under pressure, but most of the time the outcome of my work is not very good. In other words I have to start taking school seriously and learning how to manage my time, especially because soon I will be paying for my own classes. Another bad habit that I need to change in order to be real with myself is to use the limited amount of time that I have wisely. The time that I have set aside for my homework and schoolwork never works out for me because  I feel like there is always something better to do. I'm pretty sure everybody would  rather do something else rather than homework, but the point is that I need to learn that the time I have set aside for homework and schoolwork, is going to be for homework and schoolwork, not for Netflix or the soccer game that is on television. I tend to get distracted easily especially when I don't feel like doing anything, I am very lazy when it comes to time management. I feel like I have to learn to management my school time better, and not be so lazy. I also need to be more focused on my school work because I feel like without an education you are nobody in this world, and also with an education you can go very far in life, that is guaranteed.
