Something From Me

As you may have read from my introduction post, I want to show other online students the best way to be successful, from my point of view. But I want to let you know why. I have been enrolled as an online student for about a year and half now, there has been a lot I have learned and not just from the classes but from my mistakes. I will admit that I have failed and the feeling is something I can’t stand whenever I think about it. I want to let others know who may be going through the same, sometimes online classes are difficult and it’s true they are not for everyone. And everyone handles it differently so I don’t want to hear about how easy it is. But it all depends on how you do it. No one should expect it to be easy because it is a lot of hard work. I would just give up and try not to think about what I didn’t hand in, I wouldn’t try to work with my instructor to find a solution but that was my own fault. For not treating it seriously. I mean I am spending a lot of money going to this school, as I would any other college, but I truly am so happy with my choice. It took me a while to realize I was wasting my time but thanks to a certain instructor, she made me realize that I can’t think I can just breeze by these classes like it’s high school. This is not high school what so ever. This is my career and I want to be successful. Although I wish I would have realized this earlier, what I can do now but try to make it better for the future. I am disappointed in myself but that pushes me. No one is perfect and sometimes, you have fail to get back up again. Just never give up. If you really want to do something, you have to put everything you have into it. And there is always someone to help.

Introduction

I’ve had this idea storming around in mind for a while, to create a blog with information others could find useful. I mean, I didn’t know about some of the resources available to us as online students for what seemed like was forever. Since I have begun my classes at Full Sail, I have felt like I have learned a lot about what it takes to do online classes and I am still learning. Some may say it is easy, some may say it is hard but everyone learns their own way, it’s different to everyone. So after realizing how long it took me to find all these amazing services, I thought about the other students, who maybe didn’t know, or who maybe had a question, or who was even looking for advice from other who have experienced it.

I’m going to be sharing as much as I can about experiences that I’ve been through as an online college student; this is my very first time being in college. I enrolled right after I graduated high school. This has been very different for me and I really like taking online classes, but sometimes it was difficult for me. But I have figured out why. It’s because I made it difficult for myself. I knew what I was doing wrong but I fixed it. The main thing was not having a schedule, which is really important or using the services provided to us by our school, they are amazing and I just can’t get over how long it took me to realize it. There is so much I want to share about how to be more successful when taking online classes.

I am going to let you know, this is my very first blog. Ever. I’m not really sure if there is a specific way to do them (probably not, maybe?). But I’m just going to go with what I feel I should say. If there is anyone who has any suggestions or comments, feel free to say something please! I’m really looking forward to see how this goes and I really hope I will be able to help others.
