Differences


  • College courses are not direct continuations of high school instruction: what he means by this is that the classes that you take in high school isn't going to be able to properly prepare you for the course that you might have in college just because of the simple fact that all teachers aren't the same and someone cant prepare you for someone else's lesson plan if they don't know them or have took their class before.
  • College work requires new kinds of motivation and self-discipline: when dealing with college work you have to take time out of your day to make sure that you get it done and with good quality answers. It isn't like high school where you get a work sheet and for homework and can have it done by the time you leave the class and still get an A on it. you have to take time so that you can actually understand what you professor is asking of you.
  • Time management: time management definitely is something that is different form high school. you have to be able to judge going to classes, doing homework, eating, trying to join clubs, have fun with friends, and if you play a sport practice and games. its definitely time consuming.
  • Being a Student-athlete: being a student athlete is basically a full time job. you have to go to classes, do homework,do study hours, make sure you eat, go to practice, study your playbook and by the time you look up its 10:30pm and its time to got to sleep. so your working around the clock full time with very little time to your self.
               We create these myths because coming to an unknown place where you don't know anyone you try to create this level of comfort for your self. so that is why we create these myths and illusions about college. even though is a way of comfort this is a way of lying to to your self and it isnt helpful because your not going to do it the way that its supposed to be done because you think that your way is going to work and eventually you will see that you will have to adapt and perform to the way your professors are asking of you.
