It's time to make some big changes.

This is before a schedule and learning time management.

Over these past few weeks, I’ve gotten a ton of information practically thrown at me and was expected to take it and run. From tips on quick ways to get around campus, joining clubs, getting involved, and making the most of your time here; one thing I’ve learned stands out above all the rest, time management. Time management is a difficult concept to grasp when you’ve never really had to use it. In high school, the teachers would constantly remind you of assignments, papers, whatever, and when they were due. So, time management wasn’t as big of a deal. You also spent more time in the classroom than you do now, which means you are expected to do more studying and homework outside of class. I feel that time management will definitely be implemented in my schedule, because now I actually have one. Unlike before, free time is majority of my day. And with that free time, I have to make time for work, studying, and leisure, along with other things that I decide to take on. Finding quicker ways to get to class is useful, but when you’re already very early for each class, it doesn’t seem as important. Once you get to know the campus, it just becomes habit and you know where everything is. In order to make sure that I’m fulfilling these goals, I use a planner to write down all of my assignments and details about them so I know what to do when it comes time to complete them. Writing down any club meetings, and other important events helps me schedule my time and plan my day accordingly. By scheduling my day, I can make sure that I’ve got time to fit in everything that needs to be done and enough time for each assignment or activity. Keeping up with this schedule and making it a habit will help me find more time in my day for things that I might want to do. As far as personal goals, I tend to work on those as the days go on in each and every part of my day.
