    Study Notes

    Overcoming Obstacles to Success in College

    • The author's biggest obstacle to success in college was not being used to studying effectively.
    • In high school, the author was able to complete work during class and didn't have much homework.
    • College was a rude awakening, as the author didn't have as much time during class to finish homework, and procrastinated until the last minute.
    • The author failed the first test, but then got a tutor who helped with homework and studying, resulting in a B on the second test.
    • Lack of responsibility was another obstacle the author faced in college, having relied on teachers and parents in high school to remind them of assignments and missed classes.
    • The author overslept and missed a quiz in psychology class, not realizing that college policies were different from high school.
    • College treated the author as an adult, which was something they weren't used to, and required taking responsibility for their own success or failure.
    • The author is still working on taking responsibility, but has improved.
    • A thesis statement is necessary to provide a specific focus for an essay and organize the discussion in the body.
    • A thesis statement summarizes the entire essay and tells the reader the point the author wants to make.
    • The thesis statement is like a signpost that signals the essay's destination.
    • The thesis statement should be formed before organizing the essay, but may need revision as the essay develops.
