eat.sleep.success.


Over the past few weeks as a college student, I’ve learned way too many things. I think that the lessons I’ve learned thus far surpass the life lessons I’ve learned in my 18 years before college.  The main lesson is sleep when you can, not when it’s socially acceptable.  Sleep is something I used to take for granted and now, its something I wish I could have more of.  This isn’t something I’ve learned in a classroom but it’s something that will help me become a better student.
            Another lesson I’ve learned is do your homework once you get assigned it.  All through high school, I was Queen Procrastinator, which didn’t end up badly, but I knew in the back of my mind it was never the best option.  Here at Southern, I know that procrastination will get me nowhere and my free time fills up very quickly so I can’t rely on this for getting work done.   So now once I receive an assignment, I do it as quickly as possible, sometimes I can even get it done right after class when I get back to my dorm. 
            To be sure that I am fulfilling my goals as a student, I know that sleep, and completing work in a timely fashion will be playing key roles.  The two seem like irrelevant aspects of ones life as a student but I personally feel that these two components will make for a successful, happy and motivated college student.

WHAT NOT TO BE: 
With sleep, completion of work, and social time, we can all avoid this.
