Keeping Your Priorities Straight!!

Who ever wanted to sit around all day studying and doing homework rather than going to a movie or hanging out with friends? We never want to do anything that involves hard work, tedious time, and our complete focus. We all would much rather be out having a blast and doing the things we love. We need to make sure we get things done in an orderly fashion that deals with getting the most important tasks out of the way first and leaving lots of time to relax and refresh.


I decided to write my blog about this because I think especially new freshmen try and socialize and make new friendships instead of what they should really be doing. There is always a place and time to get that accomplished but in college you need to get your priorities straight. You need to buckle down and not get distracted by the little things that arise and get in your path. When you stick to what needs to be completed, you will feel better about yourself in the long run. You will feel a sense of accomplishment and take pride in your work. If you come home late and try to write a paper that’s due by midnight and squeeze it in, the paper will not be up to your standards. Through your grades, you will be able to tell the difference and it will definitely catch up to you. If I was you, paying lots of money to get a good education I would want to take advantage of the opportunities that I have and stay focused on what will be very rewarding in the end. You do not want college to just be a waste of time, partying all the time, you want to get something out of it and have it with you the rest of your life.


You need to make sure that you do not get sidetracked and fall off the path that you are taking. If you keep all your priorities straight, that will be a huge contribution to your success in college. Getting things done and finished on time, with precise thought, and determination will be a huge attribute to your career. When you get everything prioritized and set a schedule up for yourself it makes life so much easier. It will be less stressful getting tasks completed on time and you will have an adequate amount of time to get it finished. It creates a sense of balance and structure too. As hard as it is to keep on track, not get distracted by wanting to out, keeping your priorities straight will help you be successful not only your college days but the rest of your life.
