Dear classmates ,
I believe it has been a tough
journey for every single one of us that was capable of accomplishing all the
hard work that was put this past semester. Yeah we all know that college is not
easy and that many of the things we did back in high school have no significant
approach to our college academics. We are now starting our second semester of
college and learned new ideas, new perspective and learned a little bit of
ourselves.
I learned many new things this past
semester that I never really took in count of. Ah! those stressful nights of
studying, trying to cramp all the information that was going to be on the test
the next day and barely sleeping 3 hours. Waking up in the morning cramping
more information. When it came time to the test I felt like everything that I
studied had slipped past my head, as if I had not learned the topic. Why did I do
such a thing to myself? Procrastination is one thing everyone does. We as students
feel like putting aside important things and doing them last minute will make
us feel better. When in reality it makes us feel worst. I did this a couple of times, especially
those days where I would chose to hangout with friends instead of studying for
a big math exam. I learned that I was not doing any good to my self and that if
I kept doing things last minutes I was going to pay the consequences of my
grades. So I’m giving you this advise, DO
NOT PROCRATINATE! this semester and do everything on time because for one
thing it makes life a bit better. It will not hurt to put all the fun things
aside for a while and make school your number one priority. Plan ahead and do
everything on time.
Time management can be hard for
some people but I never thought it would be hard for me since I’m such an
organized person. Things started to build up and I couldn’t find a way to make
things work and have a schedule for the plans I had during the week. I felt like everything crashed once I got a
job because I felt like the free time I had before I started working became my
work schedule. Working every other day would be hard to plan how I would do
such things like homework, studying, and going to psychology researches in order to get credit for my class. This was not my greatest weakness
considering procrastination my first. But it did affect me in ways that I would
spend most of the days doing one thing instead of all the things I actually had
to do. I did manage to get it together once I settled in my job. I used an
agenda that by the end of the semester became my best friend. I kept everything
organized and seeing that I had to do lets say more than three things in a day,
it motivated me to actually do the things instead of just doing one thing and
stressing over the other. An agenda can be a great thing for everyone because
it helps you plan and organize your things so that way you have more time and
your able to manage it. My advice would be to stay organizes with work, homework,
and other things you have to do during the day. I think time management is one
of the important things that every college student should be aware and should
keep in count of for the rest of their career.
