As a college freshman, I am expected to join clubs, attend tutoring, participate in Starr events, study for exams, and complete homework. While adapting to Baruch’s environment, I met several obstacles, for example, managing my time correctly. For some reason, this semester made me value time more than before. Those spare 30 minutes between classes can be used to read a play for theater class, print your essay, visit the writing center, or do some math problems in MathLab.It was very difficult for me at the beginning of the school year to organize my time, and I am currently not the best at it. After three months of college, I found several useful resources that have helped me manage my time. Google Calendar has become my most used application because it helps me meet deadlines and maximize my time.Not only does it helps me keep track with my school assignments such as homework and projects, but even doctor appointments and birthdays, which are difficult to keep in mind while in college. I feel that in college we have a good amount of freedom, and it can potentially cause us to get sidetracked. This first semester has taught me how to prioritize and use my time wisely.

Yariel, I am glad you learned how to manage your time, that’s key number one to be successful. I agree with you; college is the perfect place to learn how to appreciate the moment. It was hard for me to organize my time, but once I did, I could hold my life. I have enough time to do all the things I love and to do my homework. Thanking for sharing your experience, I am glad that I am not the only one growing up. Good job!
