Find a Balance

Another aspect of setting priorities while in college is finding a way to balance your academic schedule with the rest of your life. Social and extracurricular activities (for instance, participating in a club, writing for the college newspaper, attending special lectures, concerts, athletic events, or theater performances) are important parts of the college experience. Time spent alone and time spent thinking are also essential to your overall well-being.

Hang On

It’s important to find a balance between your studies, work, family, exercise, and other responsibilities so you do not overextend yourself. Keep your goals and priorities in mind, and avoid an event like this one the day before an exam!
