Hey baby Jags!
We have officially passed the midterm mark of the semester and things are getting REAL. I have honestly enjoyed this semester so much and done well in the classroom, but there are inevitable challenges we all will face as college students.
The main challenge I have faced throughout my almost 3 years at South would be managing my time. I currently am taking 17 hours, working part time on campus, juggling a few different clubs and honors societies, and finding time for philanthropic work and sisterhood events with my sorority, Kappa Delta. It can be extremely difficult to find time for everything thrown at you and you definitely will go through periods of time where you feel as if you spread yourself too thin.
I have learned that making a list each morning when I wake up is extremely beneficial for me. On Sunday afternoons, I will write out all that I have to do for the week. Each day when I wake up, I will pick 2 or 3 assignments or extracurricular things that need to get done. Usually if I commit myself to those 2 or 3 things in the beginning of the week, I have more free time to get ahead on work or spend my free time socializing or getting rest towards the week's end.
It is extremely important to stay on top of your work and to get as involved as possible, but do not burn yourself out trying to dip into every opportunity thrown your way. Be completely involved and passionate about a few clubs or organizations and you will get much more out of your experiences.
Love & light xx
