Hi! I am a senior in high school and I am planning on becoming an event planner. I have been accepted into many programs for this career and waiting on my #1 choice. My #1 choice is a prestigious school with lots of internship connections and study abroad. I really like a few smaller private schools that I have toured but they do not have majors specific to my career path. I would have to do communications or general business. Should I go with specific and prestigious (if I get in) or is a general degree at a smaller school just as good?

I am a senior in high school and wanting to be an event planner. Cost wise the choices are similar, but the smaller private schools cost a bit more.

What is the best method for time management?

I'm going to be involved in a few time consuming activities and working part time on top of taking classes. I don't want to end up falling behind on assignments and I've never had to split my time like this before.
