I have seen the light, and by the light I mean, the reason I need a calendar. There are such a plentiful variety of things to do on campus that I don’t see how anyone could survive without a calendar, or two…or three. Yes, I know, it may seem a little bit nerdy, okay really nerdy, but I do have three calendars. One goes on my desk and has all of the major assignments and test dates for each of my classes the other travels with me in my bag so I can write down various homework and day to day tasks, and the third is in my phone, which shows me which events I need to be at, as well as when and where they are.

Honestly, I’m loving the method so far. I am a bit of a forgetful person, but when I can check my phone and see where I have to be, it is really nice. Especially because I plan to be quite involved here at the University, I actively participate in Dance Marathon, The Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgendered and Allied Union (GLBTAU), and Medicus (A group for pre-med students). Also, I am applying to be a S.T.A.T. Ambassador, and a Freshman Senator in the UISG. Trying to do all these things, while keeping up with my homework will certainly be a task, however, with the help of my handy dandy tri-calendar system…I should be able to accomplish all that I have set out to.

It may seem like I am micromanaging my life, with all of the organization methods and what not, but I still pencil in plenty of time for friends. I don’t think I have come home before 1 a.m. so far this year, and I’ve been having the time of my life. Meeting so many new people and forming relationships with them has been so rewarding. I’m so psyched for the rest of the year.
