People like to talk about "What if I have a superpower?" this kind of stuff. Actually, in this first semester of my college year, I got a SUPERPOWER!!
Before I came to college, I passed though the insane Chinese education. But I wasn't studying very hard until I got into high school, so I kind of experienced this insane "trails". But in this first college year, I was ready to put my 100 percent hitpoint (my muscle cells) and 100 percent mana (my brain cells) on every course. I studied extremely hard on everything. I didn't attend basketball which is the only sport I used to attend in high school. I didn't find any job on campus because I wanted to try how good grade I can get with my full power. All the people around me think I'm smart, but I truly wanted to tell them, " I'm not". I have a 120 IQ when I was in the middle school, which is decent in shanghai. There was a 160 IQ kid in my school. The only thing that matters is how much effort you had. I never compare my grade with average because I understand the reality. I'm not america, I'm Chinese, I'm Asian. I know racisim is not happening in America but subconsciously, native people still like white people better. I understand this situation. So if I wanted to get a good job, I can't stand on the same line as native people, I have to be much better than them.
For biology, I study over night before each exam.
For Chemistry, I read the almost every chapter more than 5 times.
For IS101, I spent more time on my paper than other native people; I emailed my professor to make sure the main point of my paper works; I went to writing, reading, speaking lab for grammer checking.
For English class, I almost did the same thing as IS101 course.
I studied over night by using the power of espresso almost 4 days out of 7 days a week.
Recently, I felt like I don't have to drink espresso to keep me awake and I didn't feel hungry when I was concentrating on my assignment. I can work on my project 24 hours straight or even longer without sleeping and eating. And then on friday night, I can sleep for about 16 hours to refill my energy.
It's just like there is a switch in my brain. When I switched into Study mode, my mind would fully concertrate on my work and forget everything. When I switched off my study mode, my body would have a long time sleep.
This Study mode switch is the new superpower I got! lol~ This superpower will help me a lot in the future.
