9. Time Management

Time management in college life  has a big part to play in your development as a student, by being responsible. In Secondary/High school things were different, because your time was planned out for you. Now that your in college you now as the student must be in charge of your time and how you manage it as best as possible.

Studying and coursework must be taken serious in college by all students. In this case course work can be prioritised on what work is due in next or what information needs to be researched for exams and of course preparation for exams, putting it all together!!. A great way to organise yourself is to keep a personal diary and do not be afraid to write down any important information that you find necessary to help you stay on top of things.


From my own experience of starting college, time management was something that I progressed into overtime and had to manage. Daily normal routines had to be changed to incorporate the time needed to complete my assignments and to read over any material I was unsure of given by lecturers. My family are supportive of me as they know more time is needed for college at present which I am grateful for!!
