in 24hours, we spend ~ 7-9hrs (unless you junk yourself on caffine, 5hrs) of sleep. that makes 15-17hrs left. so, how do you manage your time so that you can do well @ school, earn money and keep your life on a go?

why do i ask? i'm in a program where you basically make up for all the science/math subjects that weren't done in highschool, and as for math you need to memorize everything by heart because there won't be a cheat sheet to support your thoughts. i've told my friend that i am considering the idea of isolating myself at home, and just be a bookworm but she tells me it's a bad idea since we need a balance between the two (i know that, but it's hard for me to maintain that balance).

so, how do you people do it?

hahah..i don't really have a social life so lets see..

i pick my classes to be between 8:50am-1pm, with atleast 12 units
right now i get out of class around 12 M-F
i drive home, if i gotta go to work earlier than usual i'd stop by a fast food joint and buy something to eat at home...if i had extra time i'd nap for 10-15 minutes lol and head to work
I work from 2:30ish-6ish~ as a teacher's assistant, it's chill so i don't get sooo stressed out like my last job...and my boss gave me fridays off, so i work only mon-thursdays yeyyy~ ( i guess this is my socializing time? lol)
i get home around near 7, i eat dinner and shower
and then i have the rest of the night to do homework/study....i usually sleep at 1-2am...2:30 if i have to pick up my mom from work

oh one thing to do FOR SURE IS TO, ALWAYS START ON YOUR PAPERS ATLEAST A WEEK EARLY, if you procrastinate heh..usually my teachers assign us papers a month in advance...so i would start on it like 3 days before it due with atleast 1-2 pages typed per day heh
and I wouldn't take math and science in one semester...thats just too much for me heheh. i also need to make up some math because i lack math skills and was 2 classes behind

i don't know about book worming, i'm in the winging everything phase because i'm like still in summer mode LOL =_= starting to get back into things...i hate reading in general...but theres some good study tips in the college thread like reading for 20 minutes and taking a 5-10 minute break in between and recall and continue what you read~

well...i uh hope this is useful to someone haha..

I am pretty terrible at time management I guess I go to class and do my homework late at night. I have projects to do for art and I kind of do them at the last minute.

I would suggest planner so you can plan ahead and instead of cramming such a little bit everyday like reading and reviewing your notes weeks before the test. Or if you have a paper start earlier especially for things like research because those take up the most time.

lol i cant say my time management is greatt but when i started college.. i learned it was very important! ;[

i pick classes mon-thurs mostly morning classes (not too early!) around 9 or 10 :] and end around 3 or 4
i am currently only working 2 days after school.

i find it very wise to read/study on the train/bus! because what else are u going to do? might as well use that time wisely!

since i only have 4 days of classes.. i prefer to do most of my homework on friday so for the weekend i would be worry free...
i just HAVE to get something done, cus i hate worrying! lol

you make mee xD~

basically, it depends on the day itself. what do i have to complete by the day, etc. so you just plan out when to do stuff & when to take a break & all.

Let's see....

Midnight ~ 6:30AM = Sleep
7:45AM ~ 3PM = Sschool
3pm ~ 11pm = Homework, Parties, Shopping, whatever.

Days go by fast, I sometimes lose track of the date.

On weekends, I just have fun. (:

witsups?

Go to Soompi, get my PSP, and just pass out.

my schedule is whack. i work in the mornings & have classes at night (i didnt choose classes at night! i'm just in this freshmen (college) program, it's a long story)

930 wakeup
1030-230pm work
3pm-4pm class
5-730pm eat, hw, chill
730-845pm class
920pm - home
10-3am - hw, internet, hw

and that's only tuesdays & thursdays. DD:

i can't prioritize for sh!t.

to answer your question ^ : i definitely spend more hours on entertainment than homework. ...i mean i do get my homework done , but i play more.

entertainment > hw > work > social life ... my social life is sad. haha

haha same!

I sleep about 5-6 hours a night and I'm at school for 8 hours of the day...so that leaves 11-12 hours. and now that I think about it I have so much more time on my hands than I ever imagined. I'm so lazy ;(

I go to school and I come home. That's it, unless my friend and I go somewhere. I don't really do anything at all, lol.

Usually over the weekends, I would play my days for the upcoming week. Or I would have a schedule in my head for what to do on certain days, etc.
I'm currently semi hiatus at the moment due to school.
*still pm me please, although it might take awhile to reply!

I make a schedule for myself and try to get all my work done before the weekends hit. It's also really helpful that I don't have classes on Friday. laugh.gif

I need to start preparing for next semester.

I'm going to try to schedule all of my classes in the mornings so I can work in the afternoons when I find a job (haha).

Then I can use the evenings and weekends for my social life, working out and studying.

I get depressed when I'm bored.

How do you guys have a full day starting in the early am without being exhaused come evening?

I honestly usually cannot organize my time.
I always find myself procrastinating,
Always doing things at the last minute...

Yeah I don't really have a social life outside of school.

Basically every weekday is go to school, come back and do homework.
On Saturdays, it's working from 7am-3:30pm.
And on Sundays, I sleep in and finish more homework.

THERE AREN'T ENOUGH HOURS IN A DAY TO DO EVERYTHING I WANT sad.gif
