Time Management

Before the first semester I took 6 classes and the first weeks of college was intense I couldn’t figure how I am going to manage my time and how I am going to have time for myself.  During the time management presentation in class I have found out that I need a plan to keep track of my homework and keep and consistent schedule. Since I am taking 6 classes this semester I couldn’t really spend that much time with my friends but I’ve learned that it is possible. For example since I only have 2 classes on Mon, weds, and only one class on Friday I can do all my homework in that time.  I also included my friends as a study group since they are taking the same classes as me but only with different professor. Furthermore by studying together we could ask each other questions and spend time together too. I’m my opinion by doing this I can have a social life and get my work done at the same time. Sometimes my friends could be distracting but usually my other friend would keep us on track if we ever fooled around and should really being doing homework or studying. For exams and quiz I have to study for I found out that it is better to study by chapters that I have trouble on the most and review the ones I am strong at. For example for my French class since I do average on structure I study the vocab. To prepare me for the exams it helps me the most by using flashcards. In my opinion flashcards are more helpful then looking through the textbook and trying to re-read everything. Next semester I am only taking 3 classes which will give me more room to study more time to have a social life and letting me have time to do more activity on campuss.
