Hi Victoria!
This is a great question! I think a great way to manage your time in college is to sit down and look at your schedule. Make sure to look closely at each syllabus you will get for each of your classes so you know when things are due. I would recommend you doing this each week to make sure you are keeping track of everything. As you meet people and make friends, you can try to make studying part of your social life. What I mean is find people to study with so you can still get that social interaction while getting your school work done. Also look into clubs and school wide activities and schedule around those. If you are able to schedule both school and socialization you can find a balance. Be patient with yourself though. It will take time to figure out that balance, especially your first few semesters as you adjust to the college workload.

It was all about balance for me. College is generally the first time you’re away from home with all that freedom so finding a balance on your own for social time vs. school time is key. And both are important parts of the college experience. I sat down each week & looked at school schedules & blocked out dedicated study time - the amount dependent on how busy the week was (e.g., was there a test, a paper due, etc.). But I also made sure there was time blocked out for social activities. For me, that was one of the most important parts of college - balancing being a student but still enjoying those social freedoms.
