The Role Of Obstacles In College Students

Allocating more time towards having fun rather than focusing on schoolwork or studying in general also affects student’s time management. Since they have every opportunity of flexibility with minimal boundaries involved, there is the urge to enjoy the newfound liberty, and as a result, neglect of assignments, deadlines bypassed and incompetent test results. For that reason, the commitment to study is only realized when exams are approaching thereby causing panic to the student as the realization that class materials have not been covered starts to arise.

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

Time-management is one of my core academic and employability skills I possess. This skill allows me to prioritise effectively, which includes planning workloads, alongside arriving in a timely manner to places such as work or university. Planning my time for university workloads ' is a strength I have, as I am able to organise and prepare myself, to meet coursework deadlines within the time period

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.

Time management is very important to learn throughout the Freshman Composition class. There are many deadlines to meet, and with all of my classes focusing on a deadline driven career it can be very difficult to keep everything straight, and some weeks it feels like the work is too much, but even though there were many obstacles this semester, they made me all the stronger. Meeting deadlines can always be a challenge and it is very important to keep everything on track lest the assignments be derailed, I found that writing important things I needed

When I first entered college, I already knew what difficulties I could face by keeping balance with things I had going on at work and in my everyday life. Would it be possible to keep it all balanced or would I have give some things up? There will be times when things will collide with each other, but making choices about how it should be handled and balancing it out will be appreciated in the long run. College is were you will see if can keep your life balanced, because college is a new experience that has many challenges and trials that one will go through and learn to adapt to. Another thing that people fail to realize that will help balance things, is that if you do not invest what it takes to be successful, you will not see any accomplishments.

I can honestly say, that the only success in the two essays that I wrote, was that I finished them. Timed writing only add to the stress in student lives; they don’t accurately illustrate a student's writing ability, and the time limit only persuades students to think it’s acceptable to have their writings be

Throughout college, there will always be obstacles that a student will face. Though some students make it through the semester without much trouble, I am not one of those students. It’s not always easy to get through the semester smoothly when you constantly have responsibilities to take care of. I get extremely stressed knowing that I have a big paper due or a math quiz that I need to do well on. If I have various assignments due at the same time, I usually tend to get overwhelmed. I deal with different obstacles on a day to day basis that can impede my success as a college student. Obstacles to my success this semester are poor time management, procrastination, and technological distractions.

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

I write this clear and concise reflection to identify and evaluate an academic problem that I feel is negatively impacting my studies which is time management; otherwise, I find lot of difficulty to manage my time.

Students’ dedication to college will reflect all the way through their course progression, it will increase their chances of succeeding. Moreover, help them to achieve the qualification in a timely manner. Setting dead-lines for assignments, homework or case studies on the whole will help the learner to achieve all the core units of a course in a timely manner. If however dead-lines are not set and clear, students may find that new work will be issued on top of old work thus creating an overloading

Overcoming obstacles can be difficult for any student. As a student, I can personally tell you that some of the obstacles we face are challenging, from transferring schools, to students gossiping about one another over the internet. We may often look to our teachers, and our peers for help and guidance to overcome some of these obstacles. Then there are times when a student reaches out for guidance and it seems no one is there to help. Sometimes students may have to face obstacles on their own. That is what happened to me when I received a false grade and this is how I overcame it.

3. Managing time can be quite stressful for anyone as busy as the modern day college student. Many students lose sleep or feel as if they just don’t have enough time to accomplish what they need to accomplish.

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

One of my weaker points as a writer is my time management. Managing time throughout the writing process is critical and necessary for a well-written paper. There are times where I have rushed a draft of a paper while skipping fundamental steps of the writing process. This is very clear when I go back and read over my first draft. Lack of time management has sometimes led me to make very noticeable and fixable errors all throughout papers. Most of this is due to a mix of procrastination outside of writing and being busy. Time management is an important skill to work on as there are many benefits that come from spending more time in the writing process. It would help not to rush when writing as I would be able to produce fewer mistakes and better, better thought out ideas.
