5. Help others

New Life
The atmosphere is different in college than it was during high school. Everyone is very friendly and willing to meet new people. Also not having to go to school everyday is a plus. It is also very different going to certain classes on certain days instead of everyday. I am most excited about meeting new people and experiencing the difference of being in college. I am also looking forward to the new opportunities that present itself from clubs to majors.

Conscious Coping
The most stressful moment I have had so far is balancing college and work together. Also having all the homework at once is a new challenge and trying to get it done on time. Since my math class homework is on the computer it is another challenge that I have to finish before a deadline. It was made stressful because of the time constraint and not understanding the material in some of the classes. I was able to cope with this because I was able to balance out my time between on my activities. If the problem arises in the future I will just need to focus and manage my time well. School comes first so that is the most important thing to concentrate on.

Know Yourself(Ch 1)
The activities I like to do the most are hanging out with my family and friends, eating, playing video games, going random places, and doing things on the computer. When I am doing what I want, I am hanging out with my family and friends. Also I am just trying to have fun with what I am doing. In my leisure time, I like to just relax and watch tv or catch up on movies that I have not seen.
