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
