When I moved into an empty dormitory for the first time two years ago, I was certain of a few things. Firstly, I realized that I didn’t anybody at the school. Secondly, I knew that I wanted to work hard at my lessons and learn something useful. And thirdly, I wanted to have a good time with new classmates, without my parents around.

The first frightened me in the beginning. But that quickly disappeared. It was the other two goals ended up being my difficulties. I knew that it was hard to devote enough time to class and to social efforts. But I wanted to in both. I knew this would be a , but I didn’t realize how much until classes began.

I got on well with the other girls who lived in my dorm. , instead of finishing my homework it was due, I went upstairs and had ice cream with my neighbor. I always finished it the next day between classes. I knew it wasn’t very good and the grade I showed my lack of effort.

I was that I needed to find some sort of balance. So I created a schedule that would my time up between going to class, doing homework, and relaxing. It seemed like a good idea, but I was only able to it for a few days. A schedule like that was too much pressure.

So I tried another . Each week I made a list of everything I had to get done during that week. Then, under the list of things I had to get done, I made a list of things I could do if I had time.

This is the method I have used since then. I’m glad that I’ve learned to things and it has prepare me for what is to come after graduation.
