podcast Roundtable reflection

After listening to the podcast, which I enjoyed a lot, one piece of advice I found to be useful is when Harrison had said “I wish I would have understood or grasped truly just how much free time I would have on my hands,” and having to structure your schedule. He also gave really good advice by saying “ set some time aside to always eat, get your lunch and study, space your classes out, give your time, give your brain some time to rest. And to truly think about what you’re learning and what you’re taking in every day.” Also, when Skylar said to get your work done and not procrastinate because you will eventually drown in work, related to me a lot.  I found this advice really useful because, if I am going to be honest, I am a huge procrastinator. I tend to put off assignments and studying till the last minute and cram all my work into a short amount of time. What Harrison said about structuring your time and schedule is something I will definitely use in the future. Another piece of advice that I found to be useful is when  Cristian said to “go to the events and engage.” I found this to be useful because without exposing yourself to other people and events, it will be really hard to meet new people and find connections. One thing that I am most looking forward to this year is meeting new people from all different places and backgrounds. Coming from New York, I do not know a lot of people that will/are attending Ole Miss this Fall. I love meeting new people and being sociable so I am definitely excited to meet new people. One thing that I am least looking forward to this year is having all but one class online. I personally do not enjoy online classes because I worry that I might miss an assignment or test, as well as maybe even sleeping through a zoom session or having trouble connecting to the Wifi. Some advice I would give to someone going into senior year would be to not stress the little things and to plan accordingly and stay on top of your work and assignments. Senior year is one of the most stressful times of school. Worrying about ACT and SAT, maintaining a good GPA, and applying to schools can be tiring and time consuming. It is normal to feel overwhelmed and lost, when it comes to deciding where you want to attend school, but it is always important to talk to others so they can help guide you and give you advice.
