What I wish I'd known before college!

(This is being done for the purpose of in the case this is actually a due assignment)

There are many new things that come to our lives; from new friends to new sports to new opportunities. But one of the newest situations we encounter in our lives is, obviously, college. There's always a sense of self-confidence that we have in these new situations, but as usual, there is always something new to our situation.
The greatest thing I wish I would have known was the time-constraints you face as a college student. I have always been confident in my time-management, but to be honest, time has always sort of been managed for me. Now it is up to me to plan my own schedule. And between studying, homework, projects, and exercise, there's not much time for sociability (or sleep).
The number one thing I think I've learned his how to manage my time well, and how to prioritize my life. This new challenge has proved useful to me.
God Bless.

  1. College presents tons of challenges and time management is a big one. All i can say is keep plowing away.

  2. I saw a sticker on facebook once. it said..."Good grades, enough sleep, a social life...you can only choose two." I am finding that to be much more accurate then I first believed.

  3. I'm having the same problem. It's all about priorities, though. If you're doing something that makes you unhappy, stop doing it; if there's something that makes you happy, you'll find time somehow.

    Oh, & I love the the sticker quote!
