Life of a cegep student.

First day of school.

I'm getting ready to go to my first college class at Ahuntsic College. I've decided to continue my studies in Social Science education and cultures. Before going to school I get a message from my teacher telling me to find a partner for the first class. I have two options. Arthur, who I already know from high school, he's a good friend but do not put the work in the classroom. Or Julia, a girl I met during the summer who's also studying my program with similar studying habits.

Choice 1 : Partnering with Arthur.

Choice 2 : Partnering with Julia.

Friends

Partnering with Arthur.

I am now partnered with Arthur. By the end of the first class I realise what a mistake I made seeing how hard the class looks. Arthur tries to calm me by inviting me to go eat with some guys he met in class. I have to go buy my books for my next class since my break time is so short, but I really have a hard time making friends.

Choice 1 : Use your break time to buy your books.

Choice 2 : Follow Arthur and your new friends.

Books

Partnering with Julia.

Julia makes a wonderful partner for your first class. I look into my schedule and figure out Julia shares a lot of the same class. Knowing I work better alone I hesitate a bit before asking her to be with me in the other classes.

Choice 1 : Decides to work alone for the other class.

Choice 2 : Decides to work with Julia in the other classes too.

studying

Use your break time to buy your books.

Not going with Arthur and the other guys made me realise I always have to put school first even if having friends at Ahuntsic can help my time here. Now that I have my books I can begin my semester the right way.

Choice 1 : Give all my focus into school.

Choice 2 : Invite Arthur to my house for a study night.

proud

Follow Arthur and your new friends.

I now have five news friends, but I'm now late to my Psychology class and don't have my books. I realise I've made a mistake putting school second, and I wish I could have a fresh start.

Choice 1 : Try again

peer

Decides to work alone for the other class.

Working alone made me realise balance is key. Next time I have to choose a partner I know I have to be realistic about my work ethic. The social studies course I am taking is about understanding the human nature in a school context, so I should experience it as it is.

Choice 1 : I feel ready to take my finals.

Work ethic

Decides to work with Julia in the other classes too.

I feel like Julia takes my mind off school. I appreciate that she does, but I don't want this friendship to take my mind of my dream of becoming a teacher. I don't think I should put too much energy in anything other than our school work together. I'll use this time better.

Choice 1 : Start working at Walmart.

Choice 2 : Start looking for a study group in the classes I know I struggle.

Julia

Give all my focus into school.

My French teacher shows me an incredible book about the life of a teacher that really seems interesting. It gives me extra motivation to finish my semester the good way.

Choice 1 : I feel ready to take my finals.

tunnel vision

Invite Arthur to my house for a study night.

Arthur shows me a lot of improvement in his work ethic. I'm proud of my friend, and he helps me through his strength and I do the same for him. Arthur's help gives me a lot more free time. How should I use it?

Choice 1 : Start working at Walmart.

Choice 2 : Start tutoring for other struggling students.

study night

Embrace the way my teachers wants me to learn.

Instead of asking myself all these question about the way college works I should just embrace the way the teachers do their courses. This way, I'll have a lot more time for myself that I can use to prepare myself better for the finals.

Choice 1 : Start looking for a study group in the classes I know I struggle.

Choice 2 : Start working at Walmart.

teacher

Start tutoring for other struggling students.

My teacher in psychology wants me to do some tutoring for struggling students. This could help my own comprehension.

Choice 1 : I feel ready to take my finals.

Choice 2 : I feel like I could have done a lot more.

tutoring

Start working at Walmart.

I love working at Walmart. The only problem is that it doesn't help me get better grades this semester. I believe I should take some time off before the final's week.

Choice 1 : Give all my focus into school.

walmart

Start looking for a study group in the classes I know I struggle.

The study group help me so much! I feel so ready for finals week I wouldn't have done anything any other way.

Choice 1 : I feel ready to take my finals.

study group

I feel like I could have done a lot more.

I really feel like I could have made better choices during the semester I wish I could do it all over again. I don't feel ready to take my finals. What should I do?

Choice 1 : I feel ready to take my finals.

Choice 2 : Try again

stress

I feel ready to take my finals.

I'm so proud! I just passed all of my finals with great grades I'm proud of all the choices I made to finally be a graduate. I can now go to university to continue my dream of becoming a teacher.
