Can you believe school starts in a week? It’s time to finalize your class schedule, buy your books, and get organized! Organization in college is a key to success more than you may think. Here are some of the things that help me stay organized day to day:
1. Invest in a Planner
Plan. Plan. Plannnn. Planners are one of the most important things to own in college. It’s a great way to keep track of everything going on in your life: from homework to internships, to birthdays and appointments. As soon as you get you class syllabi, write down when all your assignments, midterms and finals are for each class. That way you can plan ahead. Plus, planners come in all shapes and sizes, and you can even order them custom to you!
2. Maintain a Clean Desk/Workspace
Feel like you can’t focus on writing a paper? Clean your desk first! It may seem obvious, but an organized space and organized mind go hand in hand. If your study space is cluttered, your mind will be too. Try to clean up after every study session: put away writing tools, get rid of scratch paper, etc.
3. Use Phone Reminders
Let’s be honest: we usually have our phones on us 24/7. This makes them the perfect tools to use as reminders of important things coming up throughout the day. And with so much going on in college, it’s easy to forget things. Schedule a reminder on your phone and it will notify you for whenever you schedule it. For example, it can be anything from “take out laundry” to “go to financial aid office” to “call mom”. This way you don’t need to keep these things in your head, but will get to them when the time comes.
4. Get Some Highlighters
There’s going to be a lot of reading assigned in your college classes. The material at times may be tedious, so add some color to those pages! Highlighters make reading and taking notes not only more organized, but also more fun.
5. Stay True to Your Sleep Schedule
In college there are so many things to do that sometimes we forget one of the most important things for our bodies—sleep! Schedule your sleep routine and try to maintain it as much as possible so that you get plenty of rest and are ready for your tasks the next day. Of course, don’t forget to have some fun! But don’t stay out till 3 AM every night, that’s what the weekends are for!
Good luck and have a great school year! Thanks for sticking with us for our #dashewsummerbucketlist series. Stay tuned for our new blog coming up soon this fall!
I finally went to Clay Cafe! If you remember my "Summer Bucket List" blog post, it was one of the things I've wanted to do for a while. It was lots of fun and I can't wait to show you how my bowl turned out when it's ready.
