Are classes getting tougher? Do you find yourself busy all the time? Is your social life nonexistent? Well, you’re in luck, because I’m here to give you 4 time management tips that will help you stay on top of everything!

1. Time

Time is your best friend, especially text-underline:none”>  text-decoration:none;text-underline:none”>in college. Plan your time out for everything from sunrise to sunset.

2. Plan Ahead 

Don’t wait to make last minute plans. Planning your time ahead for academics, such as papers, text-underline:none”>  text-decoration:none;text-underline:none”>exams, or social events will help you stay in control of your work.

3. Sleep! 

Although college can be none”> text-underline:none”>stressful, you can’t forget to get your rest. Resting is just as important as your academics! Balancing rest with studying will help you get through college.

4. Me Time.

You can’t forget about yourself. Many times we find ourselves so overwhelmed with work that we forget to think about ourselves. “Me time” should always be text-underline:none”>  text-decoration:none;text-underline:none”>a part of your schedule, but it doesn’t have to happen every day. At least 5-7 times of out the month, do something nice for yourself. You deserve it!
