What are some new relationships you have formed here at USC? Are they being an advocate for your success? Why or why not?
I have formed many new relationships since I have been here at USC. I met a lot of my new friends just from living on the same hall. Also, since I joined the club baseball team I met a new group of people with similar interests as me. Although most of my friends put academics first on their list of priorities, many still go out, which makes it a little more difficult to stay on task with my schoolwork because I like to go out with them. It is always still my decision of course on what I decide to do with my time, but it is hard to turn down your friends when they want to go downtown on a thursday night even if you have work to do. On the other hand, I often do homework with my hall mates. Most of us are taking the same classes, even if we are in different sections. This makes it much easier to learn the material because I have friends only a few feet away that can help me if I don't understand something. So, sometimes my friends make it more difficult to stay on task, but we help each other succeed by helping each other do homework or study.

Hey Greg,
ReplyDeleteThat's great you've connected with people in your hall. I know what you mean about friends wanting you to go out. That was always hard when I was trying to do work and everybody was really pushing me to do the work later. The important part is you recognized it. Try balancing your time so that you don't have to make that decision of whether to go out or do your homework. Try working out a schedule where you get your work finished before Thursday night.
How's the club baseball team? Are you practicing or playing games yet? Is it a spring sport like NCAA or are you playing now? I love baseball and that would be awesome to see right now. I think this is the season where you start to go into baseball withdraw. haha
See ya in class,
Ben
