Leaving High School, I thought I was prepared to go into college. I knew how difficult college was going to be. So i told myself I would do my homework the day it was assigned, I would go to the tutors if i needed help, and I would study more to succeed. But one thing I did not prepare myself for was, how to overcome stress and anxiety. According to an article, “Stress in College: Experts Provide Tips to Cope” by Megan Reed, “…30% of students reported that stress had negatively affected their academic performance within the past year, and over 85% had felt overwhelmed by everything they had to do at some point within the past year.”(National Health Assessment) This report really captivated me because 30%

As a new freshman at the University of Evansville, time management stands as a recurring challenge of mine. Between taking 15 credit hour classes, which consist of three honors courses, working and studying, my time to live is pretty much gone. Since being in DISC 110 Student Success Strategies, which I found crazy at first to even be in, I have learned strategies to successfully manage my time management challenges to ensure I stay on track each semester and for the rest of my academic career.

Mark Rowh, the author of the article “Beat the Clock: Students share time-management strategies that can work for you,” talks about the struggle that students have when it comes to time management. Rowh introduces us to the topic of his article by mentioning a high school senior and her daily life. He goes into detail about how her day passes by, and how she struggles to find time devoted to her well-being. He did a good job when he provided us with an example that we can all relate to. “Life is a balance of both busy moments and time for yourself,” says Rowh (2006, p. 24). I totally agree with him on that statement and I always try to make time for myself after I complete my responsibilities. The author collected five strategies from busy

Former first lady Abigail Adams once said, “the habits of a vigorous mind are formed in contending with difficulties” (Billmeyer, 2009, p. 115). The number of adults pursuing a college degree is constantly increasing with each passing year. Unlike younger college students fresh out of high school, adult learners are not only trying adjust to going back to school, but they must learn to balance their studies with other responsibilities in their lives such as their family and jobs. Knowing how to manage time wisely is an intricate tool for an adult attending college. Some helpful tips include prioritizing, planning ahead, making to-do lists, and avoiding procrastination.

Using some simple time management skills can give the student the ability to complete tasks without feeling overwhelmed. Insufficient communication between myself and the school also crippled my studies. Over this course, I’ve learned to excel as a student the importance of new time management skills. The transition although stressful is exciting and eye opening. It's a completely different experience versus the typical college classes I was involved in when I enrolled in traditional college after high school.

There’s one thing this has taught me and that’s discipline with my schedule because I find it's easy to get

The fall months can be a stressful, but rewarding time for me. Being a member of the dance team and marching band often takes up a majority of my time outside of school. Many days of the week, difficult homework assignments were a part of my daily workload; these nights often became tiring and stressful. At times, all these activities imparted a large amount of stress for me, and posed challenged me to be successfully in all activities.

Power is an addiction. The less one has the more they desire. Addiction controls the body’s actions, and there is no way to stop it. Macbeth by Shakespeare contains details on the murder of the King of Scotland. Macbeth kills the king in order to fulfill a prophecy, and his mindset shifts from good to evil. Ultimately, he is beheaded for his heinous crimes. Nero, the last emperor of the Julio-Claudian dynasty, commits crimes punishable of death in order to exemplify his power. He kills his mother, step brother, friends, and innocent people in the towns in order to get exactly what he wants. Nero is betrayed by many people because of his careless action, and he commits suicide to protect his pride. Macbeth and Nero both use ambition, greed, power, and deception to secure the highest positions in their lifetimes.

There are many challenges that we face and have to handle every single day. And, as women, we frequently have to balance the demands of work, family, children, parents, finances, and health—to name just a few. These demands are frequently referred to as “stressors” and achieving a balance is “stressful.” But multiple demands on our time and energy are a part of everyone’s life. Stress is not how many demands you have in your life, but rather how you and your body respond to these demands. For some, racing to meet a tight deadline or complete a long “ToDo” list can be positive and energizing. It’s important to learn what stress is, at what point it becomes harmful, and options for how you can respond to it. Finding the right balance is

It is important to have organizational skills in college because sometimes you lose track of time and forget to prioritize. Time management is an essential skill that will help you stay focused. According to the University of Kansas, by creating a schedule or checklist you will have enough time to study, be reminded of due dates or upcoming events, and it is an efficient way to use your time productively. (2017) To do lists can help you set your priorities straight, whether if you should study first or go out with your friends. Once you have completed all your tasks for the week you can reward yourself with a night out. No more cramming or last minute editing instead, take your time on your school work; reduce procrastination, decrease your stress levels, and allow more leisure time to balance tasks during college. Managing your time ensures you to be prepared ahead of time which reduces the stress and brings awareness to important deadlines.

I have poor attitudes towards managing time, such as managing time to study. Developing effective study habits is important as they will help me to use my study time more productively and will also help to handle stress. Therefore, learning some effective memory techniques, developing a good support network and working with other class members will enhance our study habits (Anthony, 2012). So it is important for me to make an action plan about time

Macan et al. (1990) [1] done a study on 165 students to find out the effects of time management on students’ stress, self perception of performance and Grade Point Average (GPA). Their study revealed major findings. One of the most predictive independent factors of Time Management Behaviour scale was perceived control of time [1]. Students reported significantly higher evaluations of their performance, much work and life satisfaction, least role ambiguity, least role overload and fewer job caused tensions, who perceived control of their time [1].

Keeping a personal schedule or calendar can assist in prioritizing important dates, deadlines, and goals (Martinez Tucker, 2002). Asking for assistance from friends, family, and neighbors can also provide support. Finally, engaging in various stress relieving activities may prevent students from feeling overwhelmed.

How I manage time is a reflection of what I value. Managing my time corresponds to how successful I will be in college and throughout life. Knowing and setting priorities to meet goals, carrying out plans, taking control of time, and staying focused are some events that are involved with time management. For many of us, balancing school with work and family is the greatest challenge involved with prioritizing. Good advance planning will help in meeting these challenges. Staying focused is usually difficult, especially for first-year students. Staying focused entails remembering and dedicating to the most important purpose for being in college. Sacrificing unnecessary commitments and keeping my
