Thank you comment icon School always comes before work. I've learned this throughout my high school career. I struggled with bad time management for most of my high school career. This is until I decided to get it together halfway through my junior year. I started by buying a calendar and writing out all of the things I had to do and the schoolwork I needed to finish that day. I would then break it down into the time I should take out of my day to work on these things. I always wrote it down. I know that some of my friends do it virtually, and it works perfectly for them, so if you prefer that route, then do what works best. But organizing and breaking things down to a T helps, even if it doesn't go exactly like you planned. You'll still be in the ballpark region of your plan. mckenna

Hi Jacob,

It's fantastic that you've already developed some study skills. As you transition from high school to university, one key difference is time management. In high school, teachers often help you organize your schedule, but in university, most professors won't. At the start of the course, you'll get a syllabus listing all the important dates for tests, quizzes, and assignments. After that, reminders are rare, so it's crucial to plan your study and work time. To stay on track, team up with classmates or join study groups at your school.

Time management is crucial in college. Have a planner to stay organized. Do t get involved in too much too quickly. Freshman year alone is a lot to adjust to. Make sure you have a balance of academic, social, and wellness.
