The initial shock of the significant workload and expectations can take their toll, but good time management skills can prevent multiple late nights in a row to get assignments done on time. Kelci Lynn Lucier has worked in higher education for ten years, and has experienced students struggle to try and find the balance between extracurricular activities, personal activities, and education priorities. Luckily, Lucier has four tips to help best use the time provided in a day. Lucier’s first step focuses on managing ones academic time and how it needs to be the top priority above all other curricular activities, stating: “It's important to remind yourself why you're in college in the first place: to graduate” (Lucier). Lucier’s second step is be able to manage personal time, she talks about how unrealistic it is to always be working, studying, or learning, she wants students to try and find time to do something fun with friends or a club. Lucier’s third step is to wkeep the students health in mind, it does no good to stay up until two in the morning studying over a history mid-term, only to be half asleep for the test anyway; sleep is important and without can only increase the stress. Lucier’s fourth and final step is to not be afraid to seek help with your time management, she states: “The most important thing to have for time

Getting a college education was never a thing I saw myself doing as a child. College wasn't a coveted thing in my household, I was always told that I needed to get a job and work for the rest of my life and that if I didn't do well in school, then I wouldn't get into any college. I had never been the best student, so I assumed that I would never get to go to college. I only recently started wanting to get a college education because I really want to work in the United Nations. Even after graduating high school with acceptance to a university overseas I thought I should take a year off to think about if I really wanted to continue my education or not.

Hello, I am Kelly Conley and I have recently enrolled at Boise State University (BSU) as a sophomore. My goal at BSU is to earn a Bachelors degree in Elementary Education with an emphasis on history and graduate by 2018. I have recently retired from the United States Air Force (USAF) after 24 years of service. My hobbies include white water rafting, gardening, and spending time with my wife of 16 years, Heather.

I am in college for a few reasons. Yes, college is something that my parents have always wanted for me. I am not a first-generation family member going to college. My grandfather received a degree from Texas A&M University, and my grandmother attended Stephen F. Austin University. However, neither of my parents went to college. At the time they graduated high school, they both had some hard times going on in their families and college was not in the cards for them at that time. They have both had to work very hard to get where they are without degrees, and this is why they have always so strongly desired for my sister and I to be able to have it better. My sister earned her degree from Texas A&M University, and set a wonderful example for

I know I will be successful in college because of the commitment I have given to my academics, and believe my grades reflect my dedication. For two semesters in a row, I have received a Certificate of Excellence for having a grade point average of 4.0 or higher in both the spring and fall semesters of 2016. In my final term of high school, I am working to achieve that same recognition. Additionally, I feel learning is not just about the time spent in school, but what happens outside the classroom. The diverse extra-curricular activities I have participated in range from athletic teams, to volunteerism, to leadership responsibilities. I pride myself in experiencing a plethora of adventures that have helped me mature as a student, athlete, and

What to do after college? This question plagues many students, who barely think past the next test, but I believe that I will be able to achieve my aspirations after college. The diversity of a finance major excites me because I believe, at this time, that I want to go into the business world, but on the numbers side of things. From the stock and housing market collapse of 2008, I knew that I wanted to demystify the seemingly omnipresent market. As I dug deeper, I simultaneously confused myself, but never lost interest, instead as I faced increasingly complex terminology and processes I continually wanted to learn more.

In the past five years I have learned more about humanity and humility than any paycheck would ever be worth. Over the course of these five years I have worked full time at Emerald Coast Behavioral Hospital, gaining invaluable experiences along the way. I have witnessed the entire spectrum of psychiatric disorders I studied during my undergrad. Seeing individuals, first hand, struggle with their illness was like putting a face to a name. I have been fortunate enough to interact and contribute to the treatment of patients struggling with schizophrenia, major depression, bipolar disorder, and personality disorders, among many others.

Ever since I was a young child I have had great interest in the economy and the business world. I pursued this interest by studying Business Studies for 4 years from it being one of my options in GCSE to A-Level and I have enjoyed every moment of it very much, as it blends in with everyday issues, but I still believe that there is much more that I can learn. I am a determined, hardworking individual who always strives for success. I believe these qualities are vital in order to be successful in completing Business degree. I am a fast learn and I believe that success comes from within and that my approach and attitude to the subject will determine how successful I will be.

Any major transition in life brings with it new challenges. It is only natural for new circumstances to be accompanied by a variety of completely unfamiliar experiences, settings and lessons. Certainly this was true of my leap from high-school to college. Taking the next step in my education was something into which I entered with both excitement and apprehension as the course of these years could have a substantial influence in shaping my future. This mix of emotions would prove to be quite justified upon my admission to college. Simultaneously one of the most engaging and most rewarding periods of my life, my first few years at this university would present me with trial and inspiration in equal parts. I desire admission into a graduate degree program as a way of deepening both my knowledge and passion in my chosen field.

We all need a Plan B when thinking about college and if you go or if you should not go. I

The vision that I have for my future and career is a positive one. I started my MBA program at GCU with a positive attitude, determination to stay in the program and complete it successfully. My desire and vision after I complete my program is to take up a new challenge of starting my own small business in the area of non-medical Care Giving Services. This business will give me a great deal of opportunities to utilize all that I’ve learnt throughout my program. Through the small business that I’m looking to set up, I will have the opportunity to offer quality Care Giving Services to clients who have disabilities of one form or another. Not all clients get the quality care that they deserve in the care giving business, so I will focus on rendering loving and compassionate care that will make life easier for our clients. The services rendered and our core values will be in the best interest of the clients.
