Monitoring progress

Mmmm....I consider grades as a monitor of progress as if I get As in my classes then I know I'm doing well and have to maintain the grade. Also, by doing all my assignments and papers on time for the deadline shows me that I am doing well by doing everything. Except procrastination sometimes where I wait till the night before to do it(like this blog.. oops). These I keep in track on blackboard or in my planner. This helps me see what assignments I have due when or how much better I have to do in the next quiz or exam to get a good grade in a particular class. It is very important to keep in track of these so that one can know where to work harder and where they can devote less of their time.
I, personally, think that having a social life. Not having a social life makes your college experience the worst. This is why I love making friends all the time. I will always try make friends and remember them when I see them next. This helps to get to know people and not feel left out.
One thing I am bad at keeping is track with exercise. I am not a big fan of excercise even though clearly I need it. I usually plan to go but never end up going. Slowly, I have realised is that I need to keep a record of my excercise and also stick to the plan and dates for it. College freshman for sure caught up with me and I guess its time I work hard and make the exercise work. :) The best way to be able to motivate oneself is to put up, on your cupboard or fridge, picture of when you liked the way you looked or of your favourite top that you want to fit in. This helps you a lot in motivating and wanting to go and lose the excess weight from all the junk and Cannon Centre food! :)
