Time Management for College Students'
Many college students struggle in classes, since often they do
not have a time management scheme that allows them flexibility.
Currently I am enrolled in college, running a small business,
and mothering a child, while tolerating an annoying roommate.
Let me tell you, time is of essentiality. Like my self, so many
college students are toggling between demands. We often do not
have time for our selves, much less family and friends.
When our days are cramped this brings on stress, which affects
the body and mind immensely. Once our body and mind is stressed
and affected by the stress, we often suffer and lack the ability
to seek our goals. Our communication skills are affected, as
well as our social skills. This all leads to a waste of time,
and money since we are not achieving what we set out to do in
the first place.
College tuitions are not cheap, and if we commit our selves to
college we had better be prepared to carrying out the demands
placed on us, otherwise money and time is lost. College not only
requires you to get up in the morning and meet class schedules,
it also requires you meet your tuition payments, as well as the
expectations your instructors place on you. The common student
often attends full-time courses in an effort to achieve a
long-term goal quickly.
This is great if you have the time. Before you enter the
college door, you should decide what your schedule requires of
you. If you have a part-time or full-time job, then time
management changes in both directions, since part-time requires
less time. For example, if you have a part-time job you want to
lay out a plan that fits your schedule, which include applying
for classes that work around your job commitment. If you have a
full-time job and thinking about college, you might be wise to
take online courses instead of attending classes at a facility,
since online provides a source of flexibility.
Online colleges are similar, with exceptions that you do not get
up early and drive to school. If you find the right college your
books are sent to your door, and you meet every week once or
twice to listen to an
instructor online. Some of the colleges
online have a Cyber Library that matches the major you are
trying to achieve which provides an extra convenience.
The majority of Universities or Community Colleges realize that
people have to work to survive, so they try to schedule classes
that meet everyone's needs. However, it is very difficult since
there are more people in class than there are administrators and
advisors in office.
This is were you come in to the picture, since the professionals
at college need your help to plan your schedule? When everyone
is working together, time management works smoothly, since other
people are also included in the goals you are obtaining. For
example, if you are working for a company and they are paying
you, this money is used to pay for your goal often. Therefore,
you need each other to lay a foundation for success.
Scheduling your Time
If you know, what your schedule is before you apply for courses
it helps to manage time, and save money in the end. Once you
have worked out a schedule that works with your classes, next
you want to make sure you do not run into cramming and stress.
Knock them both out by completing your homework assignments on
time and setting aside time for studies. Once you have completed
your assignments and study, you will find that you have more
time to spend on other demands or responsibilities. Be sure to
calculate family, friends, and your self and other details in to
the equation while making any decision to commit your self to
your goals.
The most rewarding commodity in life is knowing that you managed
your time well. Time managing well planned will reveal itself
when you reach your goals limits. The key reaching any goal is
putting forth the effort to achieve the goal. Finally, a helpful
tip: if you listen to the instructors and read the material, you
will find short cuts that will help you along the path to
success.
