Possibly clear pronunciation, normal speed.
Molly has learned to stay ahead of the game. She says, "First semester of my freshman year was incredibly overwhelming." But one English class in particular stuck out from the rest: "From Erykah Badu to Timbuktu." Little did Molly know that the final assignment, creating a blog, would turn into a daily activity!
Besides blogging, Molly has quite the balancing act. "In high school I always bit off way more than I could chew and didn't know how to say no to anything," she admits. Molly knew that college would be tough. "Instead of joining every single club or organization on campus, I chose three that were very important to me and dove into them head-on."
The adjustment to college was rough. "I was that little girl who was too afraid to go to sleep-away camp because I didn't want to leave my parents. Needless to say, leaving home wasn't exactly easy for me," she confides. But for Molly, the support of her sorority helped to ease her adjustment.
Even by limiting her activities, Molly still has to make time for college coursework. "I like to review my class material every day for about an hour just so all the information stays fresh and I'm not lost the next time I have to sit in the lecture hall. I've had to become very self-motivated in order to do well in my classes and have had to give up quite a few fun activities to secure good grades," she says.
When the weekend hits, Molly is ready for "anything not involving a classroom and a No. 2 pencil!" She catches up on sleep, works out and spends time with friends. But Sunday means homework and review—until the evening. Says Molly, "My friends and I always get together for movies and lots and lots of candy."
Wow, this is great, exactly what I needed! Thank you so much, chibitalk!
