Thursday Homework Lesson

It’s Thursday!

I personally love Thursdays, because I know the next day is Friday and the long awaited weekend will begin! One thing I’ve realized here at Holy Cross is that the week goes by quite quickly, but the weekend passes by about twice as fast.

Therefore, it is extremely important you do your homework when you can. Procrastinating is not an option. Now I’m not saying you can’t take a break, because as I said in my first post, breaks are essential. Maybe take a walk around campus, grab lunch, or even watch an episode on Netflix (my favorite kind of break). However, make sure you get back to your work.

You’ll feel so much better if you finish your homework, or at least a good chunk of it, before the week starts again. As soon as Monday evening rolls around, you might have a new paper assignment or a great deal of reading and you will feel that you have absolutely no time to do your weekend work.

Moreover, I feel that the courses are truly interesting here at Holy Cross and you will definitely love them. So homework won’t really be a drag, but rather quite fun. I know, I sound insane, but it’s true! Make sure you give yourself time to really dissect what it is you’re reading or completing.

So, the blog take-away is: I will have a lot of homework if I come to Holy Cross, but I can manage it. All I need to do is be smart with my time. I should take breaks and I should eat and stay sane, but I should also make sure I get my work done when I can. That way, I can finish the new Netflix series I just started with my ample amount of free time.

The Truth about Holy Cross

Hi, everyone!

Welcome to my blog. If you’re reading this and thinking about coming to Holy Cross, you truly need to read no further – apply. I can honestly say I feel completely at home here. Not only have I made fantastic friends, but I’ve already learned so much. I will risk sounding cliché and say that I truly feel Holy Cross is the perfect college for me.

Okay, I admit that was a pretty quintessential blog beginning, but it’s true! However, you probably want more specifics. Like, what’s the food like? Are there any cool organizations? Will I have any time to sleep or will homework consume my life? Never fear. I have the answers. Granted they may be “freshman” answers, but they are answers none the less. Here is the truth about Holy Cross.

First, the food is quite amazing (I went a little overboard with the curly fries my first week). Don’t worry, though. I’ve heard from many that the “Freshman Fifteen” doesn’t really exist here, which you’ll learn after conquering the everlasting Dinand staircase.

Second, there are so many interesting organizations on campus. Honestly, I felt a bit overwhelmed trying to choose which ones I wanted to join. I feel so comfortable here that I knew I would enjoy being a part of anything Holy Cross has to offer. As of now, I am in a coed a cappella group, in the Caribbean African Student Assemblage (CASA), and I sing during the Inter-Denominational services on Sundays.

Needless to say, I am quite busy at times. Does she even have time for homework? 

The answer is yes. I won’t lie and say the courses are easy or that the workload is light, but it is possible to stay on top of things. Manage your time wisely (and take breaks – they are essential), and I’m sure you will be fine.

That’s it for my first post. I truly hope this was helpful. Talk to you soon!
