Registering for spring classes

Hello bloggers, as we can all notice the fall semester is coming to an end now.  We all made it past the first weeks of college and now it is around the time that we should start working on our spring semester schedule.  Luckily, for fall my counselor made my schedule for me so I did not have to go through a lot of hassle.  From what I hear making your schedule is not the easiest thing to do.  It can become very complicated trying to find the right class and also get it at the certain days and time you want to take it.  So I went on YouTube and found this video that’s includes certain tips that I think will make the process much easier.

In this video the girl mentioned rate my professor which I think is her best advice because sometimes the comments can be right on target.  Trust me I looked up some of my professors that I am taking now and the comments said about them are so true.  She also mentioned that night classes are a good thing; personally I do not think they are though.  I guess this is because I already took a night class that was three hours long and I could never stay awake the whole time.  I think it all depends what type of person you are though.  If you like to sleep in late then I recommended afternoon classes but if you are a morning person then you should take morning classes.  It is all to you and what you think fits your schedule.  The most important thing you should do before you start choosing your classes is visit your academic advisor.  Especially if you are a freshman which I think most of us are, because if you do not a hold will be put on your account and you will not be able to register for classes at all.  It is also important though because it will help you choose your classes, make sure you are taking the right classes that you need and do not waste your time in classes you do not need unless you are taking them for fun. 

Freshman football players

Freshman football players are my topic for this blog.  Honestly I do not know much about football but today I came across an article on a freshman football player for the Florida Gators who has been dismissed from the team by his coach Urban Meyer.  It is said that he was dismissed for a violation he did and his coach says there is no chance he will return to the team.  I think incidents like this are crazy a lot of people believe football players get lots of special privileges.  Others also believe it is not fair for them to attend schools like the University of Florida, University of Miami, and other universities in general just because they are good at football.  What they fail to realize is that a lot is expected from them though, they have to attend tutoring and all their football practices.  They also have to deal with all the fake fans who love them when they are winning and trash them when they lose.  Of course I’m not saying people should feel sorry for them though, some football players are extremely cocky but not all of them.  Some of them are humble and also smart so people should not dislike the fact that they got the opportunity to do something with their life and realize that most of these boys did come from different backgrounds so it is going to be hard to them to adjust to the way others want them to act.  Recently two of my classmates were dismissed from Marshall University for doing something really stupid.  What they did was not right at all but afterwards the local people were trashing them very badly, saying things such as “this is what happens when you give these gangsters an opportunity in their life.”  Many other harsh comments were made also by the locals and people from back home too.  It is disappointed to hear what they did but you cannot expect a person to change all of a sudden it takes time.   These football coaches going out recruiting students need to realize what type of young man they are dealing with and these young man need to realize that it is vital to grow up also and cherish the opportunity they are getting.
