In This Article:

In my first semester of college, I decided to take 5 classes and this decision has helped me in so many ways. Here's a short yet simple guide to help you take on 5 classes next semester and manage your time efficiently. I hope this article helps you! please feel free to share.

1. Having a set schedule keeps me on track.

Keeping a planner by my side is something that always seems to keep me on track, I prefer paper over electronic when it comes to planning out my schedule. This keeps me focused on my priorities. Juggling 5 courses can be messy but using a planner to sort out everything helps a lot.

2. Looking over notes after every class.

After every class, I always try to read over any notes taken during that period, so later when studying or completing homework it's easier for me to remember what was discussed earlier that day. I also rewrite the notes a few times to help me remember and learn any concepts.

3. Setting a fake due date for assignments.

I've learned that setting the due dates a few days before it's actually due, helps me a lot. I get things done sooner, and I'm head of any homework. this gives me time to study and prepare for any upcoming exams.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
