I wish my faculty knew “some nights I get 2-3 hours of sleep because I also work, so I do not start my homework till about 11-12 at night” “it is hard to keep up with all the readings and be prepared to participate in class as our practice schedules are crazy and by the end of the day we are exhausted” “When we are late its typically because we get out of practice a little later, still have to shower before class, and sometimes grab something quick to eat and then hustle to class.”
11
I wish my professors knew… “I am always tired all of the time.” “how hard it is to meet the expectations with less time and energy.” “we give up things that normal students get to enjoy.” “In season we easily spend over 30 hours on football. We often miss office hours and we do not have enough time to study sufficiently for our classes. “

Student Perceptions of the Library “I wouldn't really want to ask for help finding something because people in college should know how to navigate a library.” “My ability in the library is probably zero to none, I still have no idea what to ask for or where to look or even what to research on the computer.”

“I don’t know the last time I have been in a library except maybe to print out a paper for a class.” “When i came into college everything i learned went out the window” “My experience in the library as a kid was very bad”
