What Happens If You Don't Do Your Homework

By Franklin Skribbit


No one suffers from the superman complex more than college students. They are young, strong, energetic, and ready to take on the world. While it's true that most students make it through alive, the consequences of their lifestyle will take a toll. As boring and adult as it sounds, staying healthy in college sure has its benefits! Check it out.

Johnny liked to have fun. He was an intelligent, fun-loving kind of guy that everyone liked. That was part of his problem. He liked being around people so much that he always had parties to go to, spontaneous movie nights to attend, and very active social media profiles to keep up on. Although intelligent, unfortunately, the allure of life stole his attention away from homework and towards an exciting college social life. He had managed to scrape his way through classes by guessing wisely, paying attention during class, and BS-ing well. He felt bad about his lack of out-of-class effort, but not quite bad enough to change.

Johnny was now in his junior year of college. He barely made it into his selected major and was now entering upper-division classes. Rather than in-class quizzes and multiple choice classes, he was given group projects, fifteen-page papers, and free-response essay finals. At the beginning of the semester, it seemed like he had no homework at all! He would go to class, pay attention, learn a lot, and go home. He disregarded his reading, because he saw no reason for re-learning what they already talked about in class. But as the semester wore on, Johnny began feeling the weight of upcoming papers and projects tugging on his shoulders.

The first paper rolled around. The night before it was due, he finally gathered the will to write. He'd just sit down, throw out some flowery writing peppered with principles he had learned in class and that would be that. As he reviewed the syllabus for the paper's guidelines, he began realizing that his regular last-minute writing might not cut it. He was required to include fifteen reliable sources, including three personal interviews, and several examples from the text they had been assigned.

You may be going to Fort Collins College and you may just want to apply some of these learning strategies in the classroom. It is important to have an idea before you get started and that means that if you are going to test your audible learning, then you trust your instincts and put down your pencil and just listen. You could even do a recording so you can listen again later. You may have been taught to take notes before but that might not be the strategy that works best for you so just trust your learning and give it a try. Another thing that you could do is forgo the writing and start drawing models that will help you remember.

Another thing students tend to forget about is hygiene. Hygiene is not just for looks (although that's true too). You need to keep your body and your apartment clean to ward off the swarm of germs, viruses, and bacteria that like to invade. Wash your hands often and clean your apartment - especially the kitchen! As a healthy, strong college student, you will be ready to experience all the fun and exciting things the education at Fort Collins Colleges has to offer!
