Melissa Morewitz- Topic of My Choice #3

I've been thinking about my day and the next 2 and a half weeks for that matter and I can't help but be overcome with stress. I have other exams tacked onto final exams and papers due and at this time of year I always get so doubtful. After a semester of doing well, will I fail to do well these last couple weeks and will my grades come crumbling down? Then it leads me to think if all this schoolwork is worth it, and I know deep down it is because it's impossible to get a job without a degree these days. It makes me so mad that I feel like I'm on a constant schedule to learn this by this day and know all this by test day so I don't "fail." Why can't every class be an experience rather than a lecture? I understand that math classes and things of that matter can't be a "go out and learn it" kind of thing, but other classes, like sociology and psychology; it would be so interesting to visit psychologists and see how things work instead of being stuck in a classroom. I for one can barely stay seated for 30 min and it kills me on gorgeous days when I'm stuck inside of a classroom listening to a boring lecture! I always feel like my time can be better spent elsewhere which makes it hard when the weather is great to stay dedicated to work I don't enjoy doing!
