Managing Life as a LaGuardia Student

 How does a LaGuardia student have to be responsible, and what are the stresses of college for you as a LaGuardia student?

In many ways, LaGuardia students have to be responsible. Some students work, some students have other obligations, and some students only have to worry about school. But in all, students have the same expectations placed upon them. We are all expected to perform at a high level and much is expected of us, and in order to be successful, we must have to be responsible, even if many types of stress get in the way. We have to be able to come into class on time and to participate and to share ideas and to do essays and that's just a part of  it, but every single one of us is capable of doing it. I know that it gets for some people because life gets in the way, but you can do it. For me, it has been a tough year because I have been out of school for 7 months, and it's been a hard adjustment period overall. I have had to deal with motivational issues and managing to do my work on time and trying to figure out what I want to major or or what career path I want to take. But once you realize why you are at LaGuardia, you can focus on trying to manage your stress better.  It took me a while to adjust into school mode again, but after sticking it out for the whole semester, I have learned that if I want success, I have to work for it. We can all get into 4 year schools and we can all get our bachelor degree and we can all improve our lives if we work for it. There will always be people willing to help guide you and to understand everything that goes on, but you just gotta try.
