My Study Place

Do you dread when the time to study comes? Well I surely do. I dread studying for any subject because it consumes so much of my time. When I study, there are many steps I take to prepare for the gruesome task. I have come to realize that my studying process isnt very effective if I am not comfortable in my studying environment. Now that I am in college, studying on my own has become much more difficult and much of a pass time. I must make sure that my studying is effective. I have also realized thay study habits and the perfect studying environment also helps me retain the information I need.

As of now, I am not too happy with my current study place. I often have to migrate to another space because I am not very productive in my current space. My current study space is an apartment I share with two of  my friends. This study place has its benefits and disadvantages. It has more disadvantages in my eyes and that is why I sometimes choose to do homework and study somewhere else. THe number one problem with my study place is that two of my best friends are located there. This is a big NO NO!!! I love my friends but they can be a big distraction when I am trying to be distracted. We love talking and laughing about everything that goes on in life. We can go on and on for hours about completely nothing. Another disadvantage is that I am the tidy one of the group. My area of the room is clean, but everything else is quite disorganized. When things are out of order I get confused and cant think properly. A well organized and clean place is essential for my studyig to be productive. In addition to not being as tidy as it could be, ther isn't much decoration that makes me feel motivated or happy to study. I feel like if we add color and excitement to the apartment it would be a much better studying environment. I hate studying in dull dark places. Studying is already boring, so I need to make sure I'm in a place that looks lively and inviting. I also think that I can get entirely too comfortable at the house. I can easily fall asleep, turn on the TV, watch a movie or go to the refridgerator and never come back. The only time studying is effective here is when we all do math together. We are all in the same math level and class, therefore we do math homework and study togethre. This is effective because we all can relate to a subject.

My ideal study place is in the library, USU, or environment where everyone is focused and ding the same thing as me. The environment is more scholarly and school-like and I feel like that is why I enjoy studying there. There are also chairs and tables in which I can sit in rather than a comfortable bed where I can go to sleep. I want to get my work done and go home to fun. I think that is why I stay so focused and get work done while on campus. My study is effective in a place where I dont know anyone and I dont have any distractons. All I need is a bunch of strangers surrounding me and some music and I am just fine!!
