Autonomy means to have independence or freedom. This to me relates back to college students. Unlike High school we now have the freedom to choose what we want in life now as long as we make the right decision. As to the independence part there is no one that is going to call you parents when you deiced no to go class, but now it is one you. When you make a bad chose that is now you own fault we are in charge of ourselves.

Two other words that I have heard this week were Data and equivalent. Data means information that is gathered to prove a point of something. Data also means “something given”. Equivalent is the comparison of two items that are seen to be the same. Two things that are thought to be of equal value

Try not to stress it will be over soon.

 
First semester is almost complete and I can say time did fly by really fast. As finals are approaching most students that I know are stressed out. Finals can be a very stressful time of the year for most students. I can say that I was stressed in the beginning but now that I have managed my time better I think that I will do just fine. Since I work and go to school it was hard for me to find time to just sit down and study. But now that I use my time wisely while on campus in between my classes I found time to study. A lot of students I know decided to study in study groups which will help many students pass their exams. For myself I found it easier to study and practice on my own. I will ensure success by making sure I don’t over study and that I do get a lot of sleep.

Even though this time of the semester is hard and stressful being able to relieve your stress will come in handy when you are studying.

One thing that I am making sure I don’t do is cram for the finals last minute. When I was in high school I always waited till last minute to study because there wasn’t as much material to go over. Now that I am in college my past ways of studying that will not fly by anymore. The work load is different I can say, but once you learn how to manage your time to the way it fits your needs you are sure to succeed.

Finals Week
 
Who would have thought that the first semester would fly by that fast, we are one inch closer to being college sophomores. I can say even though I haven’t been at Southern for very long but I have learned so much that will help me succeed in the rest of my college years to come.  
After watching my peers as well as my own rough draft video for our final project, I have seen so many different problems that are faced. There are a lot of different ways one may handle a problem but that all depends on how they manage their time. As the semester comes to an end there are a lot more problems that one can face. While being at SCSU I have learned many things but the biggest that that I have learned while watching these videos was how to use my creativity in a different way. In my final video I have a lot more to add; so far I have gotten good response and the advice that I was given will help me a lot. A few things that I will add are more slides with information and I will also add a skit showing the right way to study and the wrong way. There are many other little things that I plan on adding it.
When I think about creativity there are so many ways that It can be brought out, but everyone is different they might see it as something different and interoperate it different that myself and others. So far all of the drafts that I have seen did have a lot of creativity and information and watching those drafts has helped me into completing my project and has given me ideas on how to finish and create I good end of the semester video.
