Recommended: Benefits of extracurricular activities

For my final extracurricular activity I went to an event ran by an on campus Resident Assistant. At the event we went over how to not stress about finals and effective ways to study. I found this event to be very helpful and informative, we took time to talk about what was stressing us out and how to deal with it, we also played games to relax and have a calm conversation. The first thing we did at this event was play a game to relax and get comfortable with each other after that we talked about finals. We went around the table talking about how many finales each of us had and how prepared we felt for them. This was really helpful cause hearing that other people were as anxious about their finals as me made me feel better about myself and how I was feeling. …show more content…

One of the girls in the group suggested the use of quizlet and said she uses that to study for the majority of her finals. Another girl said she gets together with some people from her class and books a room in the library where they can study together. These were all tips that were very helpful and that I ended up using this semester to study for my finals. I used to just use notecards but now I find that talking out my answers with others is really effective and it help me learn, retain, and understand a lot more information then just doing notecards. Once we had talked about all of that we went around and talked about how stressed we all felt and just kind of listened to each other and offered to help one another. Something that I found that was really nice was one of the girls there was a freshman and she was freaking out because this was her first finals week and the first one is the hardest, but the RA running the event has the

  • Stratford Caldecott Analysis

    766 Words  | 2 Pages

    Stratford Caldecott’s “Remembering: Grammar-Mythos-Imagining the Real” is from his book Beauty in the Word, published in 2012. In this chapter, he argues that naming, as the beginning of grammar, is an integral part of our humanity. He goes on to connect grammar to the arts of remembering, tradition, and storytelling, as well as commenting on the danger of becoming too reliant on technology. Caldecott believes that grammar, and thereby Remembering, brings us into a greater community of human thought which transcends time; as a result, ‘Grammar’ is “the remembrance of Being” (Caldecott 59). This, he argues, is why it is so important to teach grammar; losing the art of grammar would mean losing our very humanity.

  • English Honor Society Analysis

    277 Words  | 1 Pages

    The English Honor Society appeals to me in many ways due to the presented opportunity of meeting new people, helping others while advancing my skills in the English language, and reviewing the subject of English Language Arts altogether. I am very intrigued by many of the mentioned ‘activities’ during the introduction meeting. I enjoy watching plays and musicals that relate to both historical and modern literature; they help to give different interpretations of the main themes and ideas found throughout it and also aid the audience to understand and comprehend ambiguous details. I love children and would be ecstatic to respond to their letters to ‘Santa’ as an ‘elf’. I also want to refine my skills that are English-related (such as writing

  • Motivation Statement For Social Work

    831 Words  | 2 Pages

    Two years ago when I started my first semester, my mother was living with me, and at 63 diagnosed with early dementia, which led to severe depression and the need for her to be placed in assisted living. I managed to successfully deal with this and other family troubles, while maintaining an average GPA of 3.6, and I made Dean’s List twice. Accomplishing my goals while dealing with this type of stress was only possible due to stress management tools I utilize daily. Meditation, regular walks and hikes with my dog, and escaping to enjoy the stillness of the woods to re-group are other tools I use. During unusually stressful days, I will go for a jog and then soak in the tub with candles and lavender oil. All of these tools have kept me grounded, strong and able to perform well under pressure. In the past when I’m more overwhelmed than usual, I find talk therapy works very well, and simply being able to discuss problems with people who are not personally involved helps a great

  • Stress

    1407 Words  | 3 Pages

    How to Deal With StressMany students go to school full time, and hold a part time job to earn money for school. Most students have about four classes, and each of the teacher’s of these classes gives an average of about an hour of homework each night; that averages out to four hours per night of homework, plus a part time job. School causes a lot of students stress because there are so many things to do, and so little time to do it. Stress is a normal part of everyone’s life; and is not a disease. It is not necessarily good or bad; however, reactions to stress can be harmful. Lack of time puts the stress on many students, and causes students to often procrastinate because they are constantly trying to meet deadlines and they don’t have the time to work on their assignments. Many students feel their grades are important; they need plenty of time to work on their work so they can do good. I can relate to them because if I get a low grade I get disgusted because I put a lot of time and effort in doing that assignment. But I think that a lot of the stress from school is caused, not only by the teachers, but also from the students to do well. Students put too much stress on themselves. A student just has to learn to manage their time well and just do as good as possible. Stress management involves the effort of that student to make emotional and physical changes.

    Over the course of the semester, I have learned a few things about myself. I have learned that I can be independent, I always knew myself as someone who could do mostly everything on their own. This semester really made me realize how independent I could actually be. Not only have I learned how independent I am I have also realized the importance of time management. With not having a strict class schedule it was a lot different than what I was originally used to. After a few weeks, I learned ways that would work best for me, for example writing down that I needed to get done. I learned that I need to focus on what 's ahead of me to accomplish what I want to succeed in, to manage what needs to be done ahead of time to stay caught up.
