CHEERSTOM VAZQUEZ & ’16 CHEERS & JEERS GUY

Well it's only week four, and this semester is already kicking my ass. I'm completely exhausted, terribly sick, and I am more behind on homework and other responsibilities than I'd like to admit. All I want to do is kick back with a couple of friends, watch Netflix, and eat an entire fridge-worth of good food. But I can't, because I have absolutely no time. On top of that, the weather is still ridiculously disgusting. Someone please remind me why I chose to go to school in Syracuse?

1 Cheer - Having a working computer People don't appreciate technology enough. 1 Jeer - Canvas deadlines We use it, we enjoy it, we even depend on it, but we don't Canvas can be useful for somethings, but there's a lot about realize how much easier it makes our lives until it's broken or it that irritates me, especially the deadlines for electronic lost. I don't know what I would do without my computer. I use assignment submissions. If your paper is due at 11:59 pm it for so many things it almost feels like an extra appendage (an doesn't that basically mean midnight to you? But if you turn oddly shaped mechanical one). Without my Mac how would I it in at 12:00 am these big red letters appear next your your listen to iTunes? Where would I go to write my papers? Would I submission that say LATE. Really Canvas? Really? You can't ever be able to clear notifications on Facebook? I guess I'd have give me the one minute to figure my stuff out? I already feel to start using a public computer in the library. No thanks. bad about working on the assignment up until the moment it's due. I know I procrastinated. I know I'm a terrible, worthless, unintelligent person. I don't need you to remind me.

2 Cheers - Animated Movies 2 Jeers - The cost of the cafeteria I'd like to start this by affirming the fact that, yes I am I'm a commuter, and I often find myself on campus for at an adult. However, just like all of the kids in my mom's least two meals of the day. So naturally I want to go to the pre-k class, I love a good animated movie. It feels good to dining hall with the rest of my friends who have meal plans. get away - far away - from reality for a while and watch The problem is that it costs upwards of ten dollars to get in, something with a guaranteed happy ending. Next on my which I think is insane. Unless the vegetables are hand picked list to watch is "Big Hero 6." Who knew robots could be so from a garden outside and the turkey was hunted and killed adorable? in the forest behind the rugby field, there's no reason my one sandwich and glass of ice water should cost that much. The prices discourage me from going at all, so I end up eating a half-warmed, all stale bagel from Dunkin Donuts in the plaza, and they don't even spread the cream cheese for you.

3 Cheers - Supportive friends and faculty As rough as the first few weeks of this semester have been, I'm 3 Jeers - Terrible time management doing pretty well thanks to the support of the people closest to We all procrastinate, it's true. No one is perfect and no me. It's all of the little things they do that make a big difference, one is a machine cranking out papers and homeworker like letting me borrow a laptop charger or making me instant Mac assignments for fun, but I have a serious problem. Not and cheese in their dorm room microwave. Not to mention all of only do I overload myself with coursework, but I put too the kindness coming from my professors, giving even the turns to many extra curriculars on my plate. I just don't know extensions helps a lot. I hate to admit how much of a mess I am, I'm how to say no, or to pick and choose what I want to spend sure anyone would, but thanks to all the little things these people my time doing. I end up stretching myself in all of these do, I'm a little less of a mess. I'm sure we all benefit from this kind of different directions and I'm not able to adequately get any support, that's why we chose a community like Le Moyne. of my work done. I mean, I finish it, but it's not good. I'm a junior in college, when will I learn how to manage my time? I really hope I'm not the only one who feels this way, because I think it's time to start a support group.
