" You&amp;#039;ve probably heard horror stories of college homework: impossible projects, countless hours of reading, all-night study sessions. Or maybe you&amp;#039;ve heard this saying: &amp;quot;Good grades, a social life, enough sleep-choose two. That&amp;#039;s college.&amp;quot; Coming into college, I was terrified that I would spend all of my time doing homework, and I was not looking forward to it. But, I promise, that&amp;#039;s not the case! Unlike high school, in college you don&amp;#039;t get as much busy-work, like worksheets or pointless online quizzes. Almost every assignment you do is graded or will be on the tests. Personally, I like it way better because I don&amp;#039;t feel like I&amp;#039;m wasting my time.  You may have heard that some professors will assign two hours of reading for every hour of class you have per week. To me, this sounds like a TON. One or two of my professors follow this rule. Yes, it&amp;#039;s a lot of reading - and often times, it&amp;#039;s from a textbook (or, for my political science class, it&amp;#039;s Federalist Papers -ugh!). So it&amp;#039;s not the most entertaining material around - although there is a picture of my girl T. Swift in my journalism textbook! In one of my classes, I was assigned to read four memoirs. For each one, I only had a week and a half to read the whole novel - luckily, they were at least a little interesting!  I&amp;#039;m also taking an art class, 2D Design, so every week I have an art project to complete. They do take a long time, but my professor gives us time in class to draw. I personally love having an art class because doing homework for this class doesn&amp;#039;t feel like &amp;quot;real&amp;quot; homework - it&amp;#039;s a relieving break from all that reading. Plus, I&amp;#039;ve drawn some pretty sweet things so far! My favorite class right now is Multimedia Lab. Basically we learn how to use iMovie, Photoshop, Garage Band, and other computer programs. Call me nerdy, but I think it&amp;#039;s really fun, and I know it will be useful in the future. I got to make a collage of my life at Drake, with pictures of my favorite building, my dorm room, my favorite place to eat, etc. I love the way it turned out. I&amp;#039;ve also made a short movie, and right now I&amp;#039;m working on a mock-umentary - it&amp;#039;s going to be hilarious! Much love, Kristin "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
