2A: How to Learn.

All the articles we read we very interesting and surprisingly helpful.  Each one had a specific piece of advice.  I enjoyed the “Hard Work or Smart Work” article the best.  It was very entertaining and offered great advice. Also, it made the task seem able to conquer.  “You have way more in you than you can imagine,” this quote from the article is very motivating and I will look back to it when I am ready to quit.  Another interesting article was “What is College for?” I like this one because it was easy to relate to.  I remember discussing and even contemplating those same topics.  Going to college was always the plan.  I never really thought about not going, but I did wonder if it would truly be useful.  This article more than settles my suspicions.   It stated, “College education is above all a matter of opening themselves up to new dimensions of knowledge and understanding.” The actual learn and knowledge you take form class is only half the experience.  The student center, the clubs, the “semi-professional athletics” and living on campus is how you gain the full “understanding”.  You can only learn so much in class.  Although, the “How to Become a Deep Thinker” article offers some good advice on how to get as much as you can from classroom learning. All you have to do is leave a lot of time do get your work done in a timely manner.  I have to emphasize the amount of time you must leave clear…It’s a lot.  It will most defiantly get in the way of good social experience.    Keep in mind college has so many levels that you have to take what you can out of it.  That’s what I take from the advice from all the articles combined.  Take what you can out of your college experience.
