Time Management!!! Tick Tock!!!

Topic: Blog about your biggest time management challenge-is it oversleeping, spending too much time on social media such as Facebook, juggling work and family responsibilities, or something else?


My BIGGEST Time Management problem is that I like to par-take in lots of activities such as orchestra, Key Club, Dance, Fencing, etc. I like to be a part of the community but always seem to undertake to much and then not know how to organize it. Sometimes I make spread sheets to help organize my life, like my classes and my club activities, but then I will spontaneously decide to do something else such as go to the movies or hang out with friends. 


Another one of my big problems is FACEBOOK!!!!   I think I'm addicted...and that can sometimes cause problems.  :D    For example as I'm typing this blog I'm on Facebook trying to figure out who my Big sister is, talking to my cousin, and I'm being distracted by the frogs I just bought. (They're so cute!!)


Then I end up having a huge pile of homework and no time to get it done. Sometimes I even fall asleep doing homework because I'm too exhausted from all of the other activities. One would think that by now I would have this down to an art, but I don't. Even though it's gotten a lot better I still overwhelm myself in activities and fall asleep doing homework.  HELP ME!!!!!

SSS Assignment #1


 Topic:
Please expound on these four questions:
1. Why did you decide to come to college? (After all, it's not exactly free...)
2. Why did you decide specifically to come to Converse? (Again with the "not free"...)
3. Why did you decide to study music in college at Converse? (I'm sensing a theme here...)
4. If you had to give up either cereal or sandwiches for the rest of your life, which would it be?



ANSWERS!!!

1. I came to college because I like to learn and if I want to be a music teacher, which I do, I need a college degree! Also I’d like get paid a decent amount of money when I become a teacher. I like money, but I think most people do too.  :)

2. When I came to Converse as a prospective, it felt like home and somewhere I could imagine myself spending time and studying. I met some really cool people and lots of people who shared the same interests and ideals as I do. Everyone was nice and extremely friendly which was completely un expected. That basically made my decision for me.

3. I love music. It makes me happy and speaks to my soul. That's all.  :)

4. I would have to say the I'd rather give up sandwiches for the rest of my life and not cereal. I like cereal too much. Cereal is an every or any meal kind of food. You can eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner and because there are so many different kinds of cereal I might never get bored! My favorite kind of cereal is Cocoa Pebble, the generic Wal-Mart brand!!  ;)
