<p>dude,,, she is typicallly a Berkeley[ed] student... Cal Berkeleyed girl!!!! :D Nice stats! I'm not sure if i will be Berkeleyed too :D</p>
<p>OK. Trust me, if you get rejected, that won't be the reason.</p>
<p>i'm surprised that this thread's gotten this far....o well, one more heh </p>
<p>cal girl im also surprised u didnt get Regent's Scholarship....(or u didnt mention)</p>
<p>thanks guys!</p>
<p>what's the regents scholarship? i think i've heard of it...but i dont recall vaguely. </p>
<p>i dont know about you guys...but part of the reason i did so much stuff on top of school is because i am able to do better in school if i am involved in things i am really passionate about. when i just do school, my motivation level goes WAY down.</p>
<p>Cal Girl is a good model for many of us... yay, at least with that blink blink 4.0 :D</p>
<p>heehee i really hope i can keep it up for the remainder of my school years at berkeley!</p>
<p>wow... how much time a day do you spend studying>?</p>
<p>u sound crazy cal girl........</p>
<p>I think she implies that on her sn too: 21 hours out of 24 hours a day... well j/k she is just 21 year old is what is saying there, i suppose.</p>
<p>cwazyyyyyyyyy!! man, waiting for these decisions are killing meeeeee!! well, i finally got my USC application in..........</p>
<p>oh and futebolista, did you only apply to Cal?</p>
<p>why? i already told u</p>
<p>back when i was at CC, i studied....regularly. i dont remember the exact hours, but i would go take a nap and then wake up and study for a few hours and then take a short nap again before going to work. when you sleep/nap, your memory consolidates more for long term, so everything sticks more with less studying. </p>
<p>my first semester at berkeley (last semester), i overloaded myself (stupidly), and i had to study a lot to come out with all A's. anywhere from 5-10 hours a day, so i didnt get to do outside stuff my first semester, which drove me crazy and made me feel very frustrated and not as motivated. and it was a lot of time management and will power (for example, if i had a lot more work than i thought, i would call my boyfriend and tell him i couldnt see him that evening, if i wanted to just stay in my dorm instead of going to lecture i'd make myself go and thank myself later, etc.) </p>
<p>for the start of this semester, i have been studying very little...but i'm going to change that really soon. i have a lighter load, so it will be relatively easier catching up than it would have been last semester. </p>
<p>since we're on the subject, how many hours does everyone study here to get the grades they do?</p>
<p>oh, i was just wondering ... i get mixed up a lot.</p>
<p>and congrats on maintaining ur GPA at cal....</p>
<p>and for your question i don't study too much, whcih is very bad. i would have to say maybe about 2-3 hours of studying before a midterm? BUt it definitely does show i only have a 3.55 but i'm trying to change my work ethic.</p>
<p>hey thats not bad at all....my roommate does that and he has a 2.5 or something</p>
<p>It's better to nap right away after studying?</p>
<p>yeah but i'm a business major (which is a pretty bs subject) = 0 .. oh and i remember you, haha if cal rejects you they must be smoking crack.
I think im begginning to notice improvements though - been showing up to all my classes and keeping up with the work =)...</p>
<p>Hey that is a nice description of your studying habit...
For me, i study for like an hour, then do other things like visiting this forum, then study again, then play video game, then study again, eat, then study again, then play some sport, then study again, write journals may be, then study again, chat, then study again, take a nap, then study again, drive outside to get something to eat.... </p>
<p>and yeah, i don't really know how many hours i study but I just study whenever i feel like to do... like sometimes, i was playing video games and i see number on the screen; suddenly some abstract calculus concept comes up on my mind and then i just go back to study and bingo, i get it clear up and i can even retain the information better that way too... weird studying habit huh :D</p>
<p>"oh and i remember you, haha if cal rejects you they must be smoking crack."</p>
<p>Are you talking to me? ^_^</p>
<p>i go to the library first, read 10 min, take a 30 min nap, then study for 3-4hrs....</p>
<p>o yea, hobo, ur name is interesting....but are u impoverished? no offence:)</p>
<p>haha, unfortunately i was talking about futebolista...</p>
