The life of a college student is hard. There are so many things that we can do and so many that we have to do. But how do we figure out what we have the time to do?
This weekend I have to manage my schedule and events. There is a party that I want to go to, friends that I want to hang out with, a stupidly important online quiz, a social event, a birthday party, a religious event, a textbook to buy, several textbooks to open, a grandmother and uncle to educate in computers, fix my own computers, and the list goes on... But to figure out what I can actually do, I simply plan to do everything. Of course I will not be able to do absolutely everything, but somehow many things get done.
I go my friend's party and hang out. I go to the birthday party and social event. I manage to do all of my school responsibilities. In fact I manage to do practically everything, but how much do I get out of it. In all honesty, very little. Every thing is just a thing; it is an experience that I undergo. But I do not feel that there is something more to it. I don’t feel that it was managed in the right way. I don’t feel anything significant.
My managerial challenge this semester is to understand how to manage my life so that I get something out of it. Without some guidelines, there is something significant missing.
