Time management is the key. We have all heard this adage time and again, but do we actually go ahead and apply its true meaning into our lives? In the recent past, most of us here at Purdue were hit by a terrible thunderstorm (a.k.a EXAMS). So as I saw myself and a couple of my friends pulling of one all-nighter after another, I was forced to think if this is what college is all about. Does college demand us to stay up all night and complete all our assignments or does the ghost of procrastination ruin it for us? After giving this issue some thought, I came to the conclusion that we all have the freedom to make our own decisions in college. This is very different from high-school, at least for me as I had my mom constantly keep pushing me to keep up with my school work. On the other hand, in college, we are forced to fend for ourselves. Hence as we taste our first few drops of freedom, there is a chance that we may take the “wrong” decision. For example, who among us has not gone to a movie in spite of having an assignment due that night? I may sound like a mom in this particular blog of mine but hey, it is high time we wake up and smell the coffee. As a matter of fact, writing this blog has made me realize many of my shortcomings in terms of dealing with college life. I’d like to conclude this blog by saying that be careful with the way you spend your time. Be stingy, very stingy. Remember that every minute counts and things will only get faster, more exciting and sadly, harder. Get yourself organized before it is too late. If you already have a decent schedule then that is great! Going further, if everyone reading this blog already has a perfectly organized life then it would be extremely awkward so please pretend you have a messed up life while you read this blog.
