5 Thoughts You Have When You're Struggling In A Class
Conejo Valley Tutoring

I don’t know about any of you but I am required to take two accounting classes for my major and right now I am procrastinating stuDYING for a test. I don’t think I’ve talked to any non-major who genuinely enjoys accounting but if that’s you- more power to ya! I am 100% mathematically declined and I can only be thankful that I will be done with this forever come December. Here are a few emotions you go through taking accounting. But really, this could be applied to any class that you hate/struggle with!

1. Dread

Dread when you are forced to sign up for the class, dread when you realize you'll have to go to the class for the whole semester, etc. The list only goes on.

2. Confusion

Most people will be feeling this way. Nothing makes you feel better about a hard class than when you look around during the lecture and meet the eyes of fellow non-majors who are slowly dying inside

3. Astonishment

On the off chance that your brain is acting like a giant sponge, you might understand something the first time your professor explains it. Also, this can be applied when you actually do alright on a quiz/test that you thought you completely failed.

4. Acceptance

Know that this is just a speed bump in the road to your inevitable success! Who needs accounting, am I right? *laughs nervously* This might not be your best grade and it may hurt your GPA, but you’re getting through it and that’s what is important anyway!

5. Excitement


That feeling when you’re leaving class knowing that it is one less day that you have to go home feeling like an idiot!

Personally, I experience these emotions at least once a week, and sometimes all in one day! I hope that this makes you feel better if you’re feeling alone in your struggle. We can all get through this and just remember: every day we’re one step closer to winter break!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
