It is a struggle and the outcome is not making me the happiest person on earth, but in my mind it seems it will be more beneficial. I learned that I must manage time in a way in which I can learn in depth, so this meant less time focussing on work or getting ready and instead focussing on studying. The key to my success is for me to “set myself down to my task with a will, and [start discovering] one new thing after another” (Scudder 454) instead of being pleased with just learning the basics. I sometimes even deprive my other classes of attention while trying to focus on a more important class, but one thing I learned in college is that sometimes a person must sacrifice. I am currently sacrificing my grade point average, I know everything won’t be a perfect score, because when I start to focus extra time on one subject some other classes might get left behind. I have also learned that getting a perfect grade is not the most important thing while at college, but instead it is essential to learn the material; if that means I learn from the mistakes I make on a test or a paper then that is okay because I will develop greater skills in the long
