That thing called class...

College is so fun! They are the best years of your life....that is why they fly by so darn fast!! Stay there as long as you can. There is independence, FUN, parties, friends.....and, that thing called class. Amongst all of the amazingness of college are these things called class (and you have to study)! Though this completely blows, it is afterall the reason you are there. ha (I tend to forget that a lot.) The best way to capitalize on the these things you have to do is to know yourself and your strengths. If you are a morning person, schedule all 8:00am classes and get them over with early. You will have free afternoons to do whatever you want. If you are not a morning person, do NOT schedule 8:00am classes. Schedule 9:15am or even 11:00am classes. You will finish a little later in the afternoon, but it would be worth it since you hate the mornings. Right?! :) Also, make sure to be organized. Time management is so so important in college. You have all this free time with no one making you do your homework, study or read your textbooks. But, you still have to in order to succeed in school. You will quickly learn when good times are to take care of this business. And trust me, it is better to take care of it than not to. Also, if you know procrastinating is your thing and you still produce quality work, don't let anybody tell you it's bad or harass you about not preparing more in advance. It has served me well for years and has never held me back!! :) Classes and class work aren't ALL that bad. No worries. They pass and you can still have some fun in between!
