Coping With Now

Some of the changes that have been most difficult for me since starting college have been waking up and being to class on time, and making sure I can balance school with two jobs. These changes have been difficult for me because I'm not used to being put in this situation. In high school everything was just givin to me and I was expected to be there and do the things. In college I do what I want it's my responsibility to get things done. The other challenge of school and two jobs is difficult I don't have a lot of down time to get homework done. Therefore, I have to organize my time wisely to get things done. In the past I have been one to initiate change. The response I have gotten from others was positive yet sometimes negative. Some people liked the changed and were glad I approached it and others were not open. Some emotional changes are I have been stressed out more. I don’t know what to do with myself and become overwhelmed. The change that has caused me the most anxiety is getting everything done when it needs to be done. I get stressed not knowing if everything has been prepared and finished. Some attitudes that hinder my change are negative. When I’m not willing to perform to my abilities or people who are close to me doubt my abilities. Overall change has definitely affected me since I’ve been in college. Each different changed that comes my way I learn to new ways to approach the situation and am more prepared to fix it.
