Last night I pulled an all nighter. Yes, the rumors are true college students do live off caffeine. One of the common questions I get from previewers that I meet is how vigorous academics are here at Covenant. This question is hard to answer because it really depends on your major, work ethic, how well your high school prepared you. I think that Covenant’s academics have challenged me while at the same time have provided plenty of support for me to succeed in them. I came from a high school that was more concerned in getting its students out of the school rather then preparing them for where they were going once they left. Therefore, I was a bit anxious coming to Covenant. I found Covenant to be difficult at the beginning because I had never been trained how to study for a test or take notes in a class. My first semester I look back and see how lost I was. I had no idea the beginning of how to succeed in my classes. Having friends exemplify great study habits, teachers coming along to help, and a determination to succeed I have come a long way. Coming into to college I viewed it much like high school, it was something I had to do but didn’t really want to. Now though, I find what I am learning interesting and I like seeing how far I have come in my studying habits.

Now back to my first sentence…don’t let that scare you away. Most every college student pulls an all nighter at one point in their college experience. The fact that I still have a hard time making sure I don’t procrastinate doesn’t help me. Hint for all of you soon to be in college…learn not to procrastinate early on, otherwise it will never leave you! Anyways, I know these are a lot of random thoughts, let me know if you have any other questions and I will try answer them.
