For some reason this semester so far I have been really good at managing my time and being organized, even ahead on my assignments. Usually I am finishing stuff at the last minute and struggling to stay sane. Here are some of the ways I think I have been able to do this:

1. Any Spare Minute, Homework Not Netflix

no matter how tempting it may be to watch Netflix when you have a free moment you have to fight the urge and do that assignment due Friday even though it is Tuesday. Watching Netflix will be so much more relaxing when you actually have no homework stressing you out to think about.

2. Plan Out Your Day

Planning out your day and when you are going to get your stuff done makes getting it done so much easier and less stressful. The more organized you are the more you will get done.

3.Take Care Of Yourself

The more you take care of yourself the easier it is to focus on school and get your work done. Going to the gym is what I do for myself, trust me it is better at waking you up than coffee.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
