Your Learning Style

I took this learning style self-evaluation quiz and figure out that I am a visual learn and a bit of a auditory leaner. I haven't tried to change my study habits since high school, when I was in high school I really didn't study much usually a day before. I always knew it wasn't such a great way to study for any test, and I still do it in college. Maybe that is why I am not doing so great in college need to change my study habits. Nothing has really worked for me it's more of what hasn't worked for me. The transition from high school to college is a big change especially since I am the first one in my family to go to college. I don't have any role models for college advice. I believe what I need to change is how I manage my time because I always end up procrastinating in all my classes. I know I am always wasting time either watching T.V., on the computer, hanging out with friends, and playing video games. Sometimes there is time for fun, but there is also time to be serious and do school work. I should start doing homework isolated by myself in the library more often, instead of doing it in my room with a lot of distractions. My learning style would be a visual learner and being in a place where it is quite.

Non-Muse Event

The None-Muse event I went to was actually in the University of Davis about a Fraternity and Sorority stepping and strolling competition. The potential Fraternity I might join was competing which is Sigma Lambda Beta. One of the members Joshua Brennan a sophomore in San Jose State University was the one who invited me and took me. It was a great experience meeting the Sigma Lambda Beta members form UCD. What sucks was that Joshua and I got there late and just missed when Sigma Lambda Beta where stepping and strolling.

Study Tip #2

A great study tip that I personal do is do a lot of practice problem specifically for a math or science class. I would always do practice problems for my math classes and science class. This will make me receive good grades; also see in which area I need more practice on. Remember practice makes perfect every time I do practice problem the subject I am learning is easier to understand.

Non-muse Event #2

Talking about Sex

I believe the pressures of college freshmen are divided between genders because there are different standards. The male usually has peer pressure from other males of how sexually active one is. Most college men are sexually active and others aren't who are mad fun of and pressured to do so. For females the sexual pressures would be having sex when she is not comfortable. The rules of dating are pretty general, for example; good communication, trust, patience, passion, etc. I think people shouldn't Google the other person when going on a date with them either before the date or after. The advice for the younger kids is to remember the purpose of coming to college to graduate with a degree.

Talking about Drugs

The "drug of choice" for freshmen definitely has to be marijuana and alcohol. Based on observation and experience honestly out of all the college parties I have been to there is always marijuana and alcohol. The parties I have been to are not all in San Jose this also includes University of Santa Cruz, Santa Clara University, University of Davis, and San Francisco University. My friends and I all drink and they smoke, but I chose not to smoke based on personal issues. For me there isn't really any temptations because I never thought about smoking marijuana but, I do drink alcohol to a certain extent.

Music Memories

The two people I interviewed for this assignment were my parents Jose and Maria. My father's taste of music during his teenage years was specifically rock ranging from Spanish rock, metal, classic rock, psychedelic, glam metal, and pop rock. In the other hand, my mother will listen to Spanish music, for example; cumbias, banda, pop rock, and salsa. My mother only went to a show of a group that wasn't famous at the time, but my dad did go to only two concerts. The name of the group that my mom saw is called Banda de Recordo. The show was for college students specifically veterinarians who where dancing and drinking. The concerts my father went to where from Spanish music groups such as El Tre and Miguel Rios and one techno composer Poly March. Jose's experience with the El Tre concert was "amazing" says my dad; he remembers traveling a long distance in order to get to the location of the concert. My dad would like listening to Tre because of the lyrical content. He told me that most of Tre's song where about the corruption of the government. I agree because I also like rebellious music during my teenage years of my life. There is also another concert my dad went to the artist was Miguel Rios. The location where the concert took place was called El Toreo de Cuatro Caminos which was a baseball stadium. He remembers that a lot of people started to push through the main gate because of anticipation and it caused the police to take people to jail. This included my dad and his friends so he technically did really go to the concert. All of his money for the concert ticket was to get him out of jail. The last concert he ever went to was a techno show. The dj's name was Poly March who played at El Socalo a lot of people were excited dancing. There were also go-go dancers in exotic costumes dancing to the beat of the music. My father remembers before the show was over Poly March would turn off all the lights and started playing in the dark. My father's interest in music hasn't change throughout his life, but my mother just included to her taste. Mainly due to immigrating to the U.S., for example; she has started to listen to hip/hop and American pop. My father's favorite bands from then and now are The Doors, Rolling Stones, INXS, ACDC, Led Zeppelin, Janis Joplin, and Poly March. My mother is Banda de Recordo, Shakira, Bukis, Maricella, Mana, Selena, Lady Gaga, and Pink. I defiantly have a similar taste of music as my parents specially my father. I also have other family relatives influence my choice of music. I still listen to old groups my father would listen as a teenager, for example; the singer Billy Idol, The Doors, Led Zepplin, Van Halen, etc. Recentally I have only been to one concert which was technically a metal feast.
