Whether you are in your first year or final year In college, almost anything you do now will affect your career trajectory in the long run.

In between trying to maintain good grades, building relationships and having a social life, it might be difficult to maintain a sane and organized life in college, but if you are equipped with the right tools to get about your day, you just might live a simpler and more productive life on campus.

Here are ten quick steps that would simplify your life and a more productive student going forward:

1. Plan your tasks

Most persons especially students find it difficult to get anything done because they fail to plan.

As a college student chances are you have an abundance of things that need to be done. Organizing and planning your tasks would give you an overview of what you need to get done and how best to do so.

2. Prioritize

If you are always faced with a lot of tasks, chances are you will not be able to execute several of them which is why you must prioritize.

It might not be easy to choose to execute some tasks at the expense of others, but sometimes taking the scale of preference will be a necessary evil.

3. Act

The best thing you can do for yourself is to execute on a plan as soon as you have the chance to.

Delaying on carrying out a task for unnecessary reasons often lead to an unending chain of procrastination which is productivity’s number one enemy.

4. Minimize social media

You don’t have to be on Facebook all the time to be a sociable person. In fact, if you find yourself spending an unhealthy amount of time on social media, then your social life is taking the toil of it.

Restrict your time on social media to checking on friends, networking, and research.

5. Follow all four steps

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.
