The Day In The Life Of Psych Student

Hello! Welcome to my Blog. I'm currently a Psychology Student attending York Cuny College, set to graduate 2009. I'm an older student, working part time and trying to make my mark in this big, wide world. I, never thought that I was college material. I didn't feel that I was smart enough to attend college-how ridiculous-but I have found out that you need to have goals, focus, iniative and persistence. You have to be able to manage not only your school schedule, but your work schedule as well. To do this, I purchased a marker board where I input my full schedule of what I'm doing for the week. I also have an appointment calendar which I put in my work times, classes, study periods, reading and exercise. Yes, I do have a full schedule. On top of all of this, I'm on a weight-loss program. I have to lose 75 pounds and I plan to be successful. I have to also have a notebook to note in my exercise times, eating schedule, nutrition of food, food portioning, weight, and what I eat daily. It sounds intense, and it is. My advice to anyone is that please, please, please, watch your diet. I don't care how depressed, stressed or angered you become. Using food as a stimulus for feeling good does not work. It is only a temporary solution. Believe me, I am living proof of this. I'll head off now. I will update this blog periodically. Please feel free to comment. I welcome responses from people in similar situations. The purpose of this blog is to give encouragement in whatever your endeavors are in this world. Peace!
