*Takes deep breath* it’s October, and college has decided this is the week that I’ll do all my mid-term papers. The crunch is real. I have two tests on Wednesday with one on Tuesday\u00a0that covers a whole chapter of my Spanish class, and I have to work Tuesday, and on Wednesday I have three classes. On Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday I have to work. Plus on Thursday my Philosophy paper is due, and I have to eat and prepare to go home at the end of the month and ahhhh.. *Exhales*<\/p>\n

Can’t go wrong with a Narmer from Erber and Gerber and a Blueberry-Pomegranate Vitamin water<\/p><\/div>\n

This is the difficult part of college. The management of of everything put together is strenuous: work, school, family, friends, this blog, and studying. One thing I learned is that the more you do, the more things have to go right. I believe it was the Notorious B.I.G. that said “Mo’ money mo’ problems,” and that philosophy can be implied here. One thing I learned however, is to take it one day at a time. Read your planner and see what you have to do, then like a running back on the goal line, tuck your head and push through. If you freak out about everything, then nothing will get accomplished.<\/p>\n

Along the way of my trucking, I found my favorite place to study. Aside from the ITC, I spend most of my time in the Hawkeye room of the IMU. It’s always quiet, it has food right next to it, and it has a TV, so when you’re done studying you can look at what’s happening on the news or in the football game.<\/p>\n

But the crunch is real now. They say pressure makes diamonds, but it also bursts pipes. I always wondered why freshman GPA is lower than everyone else, and now I see why. Time management is difficult, but like I said, keep your head down and keep trucking, you’ll find the end-zone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
