I don't really think like this, but sometimes (like this week for me) it seems like it. This week alone I had 5 tests! Talk about studying. I also had multiple assignments, projects and study guides do along with each test. Basically, again, I was stressed. I decided that I needed to time manage this week like crazy!
What I did, was ranked what I needed to do from most to least important. I really tried to stay focused and keep myself away from facebook and other social media. I found this video and I really feel like it has some good advice for stressed college students! Enjoy

I have been feeling the EXACT same way this week! It seems like everyone I've talked to has had exams like crazy. I've had three, so it's not as bad as your five. But still, I've been stressed because of everything else that is going on too. I hope all of your exams went well! Five is rough!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the video you posted! Time management is always so difficult. I am a big fan of making lists and prioritizing my assignments. Before I saw your post I actually made a list of everything I need/want to get done this weekend and ranked them in order of importance. It helps me visualize and plan how much time I will need to set aside for homework and studying. Crossing things off the list is always a great feeling. :)
I transfered here from another college and I feel that washburn is more academically challenging than my previous school. I hate that so many classes involve the internet. When I try to do homework, I find myself looking at facebook or netflixing instead of my assignments. It is a big challenge for students.
ReplyDeleteI also hate how every professor wants you to read for their class. It's like they don't get that every professor requires us to read. I liked the video you posted. I think I need to find a space that will help me focus on school work.
Dear, dear students. Just wait until you have a boss who expects you to manage at a minimum three projects that are are all due NOW.
ReplyDeleteLearning self discipline is the most valuable thing. As healthy eaters and committed runners, I am sure you each will manage fine.
There will be a day when you actually long for tests and assignments.
Cate,
ReplyDeleteI totally understand, I've been running a business and going to WU since I was 18 and I totally understand the stress and anxiety of trying to get everything done, done well, and make everyone happy..lol. I'm a "to-do list" kinda person, because if I don't something will fall through the cracks. I liked your youtube video and thought it had some interesting/good points :)
