I can't believe that it's been 2 full months since I've last had a chance to post something. It baffles me that throughout my 12 straight semesters of college, my very last "academic" semester (meaning involving lectures and exams) is by far the hardest and busiest. I don't think I've ever experienced so much work stuffed into such little time. Add this with the most hours/week I've ever worked, and you got an overwhelmed college student (at least most of the time). However, the good news is that I'm pulling through just fine. People say that things always happen for a reason, I believe that this is exactly the case. I've learned so much about time management skills and my capabilities as a student and as a professional.
I think it's always important to remember that you yourself are capable of so much when you really put your mind to it. Sometimes we have to be forced into a situation in order to realize how much we can actually do. For those of you choosing to take it easy by taking the minimum amount of classes (and the easiest), I challenge you to challenge yourself. In the end, I realize that I would be bored with all that free time, had I chosen not to double major and work as many hours. I'd probably end up procrastinating to the max, while my brain rots on things that don't help me advance personally and in life. This doesn't mean that you should force yourself to be busy all the time, leaving no time to relax, but it is good to be busy most of the time. You will most definitely find yourself getting more things done than you've ever thought you could get done in the allotted time.
