time management
A Little Bit of Everything
When I write a blog, I generally try to find a common theme or idea that happened to me throughout the week and write with that as my framework. I’ve been lucky enough to have some sort of theme each week so far this year, but this week has just been all over the place. [...]
Ordained to fly!
“You are ordained to fly!” Dawne Gee from WAVE 3 News used this quote when she spoke at my church this past weekend. I have thought about these words over and over and try to remember to repeat them to myself daily. There are days when I wake up and I cannot even get out [...]
Keep Calm and Organize On
Let me start with a pretty obvious statement: when you go off to college you are on your own. Your parents, best friends from high school, favorite teachers, grandparents and whoever else you might rely on at home are no longer with you. You are suddenly responsible for waking up in time for class, having [...]
Time Management Lesson #1
Managing your time properly is one of the first things you will learn how to forget at Hanover. In fact, with the design-your-own major Hanover offers, I’m highly considering getting a doctorate in time mismanagement. Just kidding, we don’t have a doctoral program here. On a more serious note, I have been lucky enough to [...]
Cookies and increased heart rates
Today was not such a good day for me, and worst of all, I have no one to blame but myself. It’s a sobering thought when you have to climb a mountain of suffering alone, and today I had three: academic, social and personal. I woke up, post-snooze button mashing, at 7:48a.m., and only by [...]

This is the time in which projects, essays and major presentations are usually due. Everyone around campus is usually studying really hard and is sleep deprived, stressed and [...]
School and social activities: all part of a balanced schedule
Howdy everyone! So lately I have really had struggles with balancing school, cross country, a girlfriend, Sig (Sigma Chi) and a social life. It has been very hectic, but has caused me to really find and apply different forms of time management. Using your time efficiently can be the difference between having friends and being [...]
Procrastination Compensation…Annihilation
As incoming freshmen, I am sure you ask yourselves, “How am I going to combat procrastination?” In my opinion procrastination is one of the most natural “addictions” a college student encounters in their everyday life during the school year. But instead of embracing it, one must find ways to decrease it so that it does [...]
Are extracurricular activities worth it?
I’m not sure how many times I have heard my parents or other parents say, “You can do this, but if your grades start slipping you will have to stop.” I was always one of the busiest, most involved students in high school and wasn’t sure if this habit would be a good one to [...]
