Hi, world,

Yes, I'm a college student and yes my priority is school but, here's what it's like to be a busy college student and why it's totally doable to be in college and be really busy!

First and foremost I'm a full-time college student and that in and of itself sounds like a lot to some people. But, once you get out of your gen ed courses and into courses for your major if you really have a passion for the field it will be easy for you and you will find it easy to catch on to things so then you wont have to spend hours upon hours studying for a course just to pass. Instead, you will spend hours studying because you are truly interested and you can make it fun for yourself.

Secondly, I also have a job because how else can I afford to live if I don't have a job. But, my job is fun so while yes I am often either in class or at work at least I have fun during my classes and fun at my job. My co-workers are more than just co-workers, in fact, they have become my friends.

Third, I am in two organizations in my college campus and I love being involved in both of them! One of them I'm far more involved with than the other. In fact, on my campus, the organization that I am highly involved with is this the odyssey!

So how is it possible to balance all of this and still be able to eat and sleep? I'm not gonna lie to you it is hard. But here's a secret. I planner everything and then cross things off when I do them. This is so that when I open my planner on say a Tuesday I can look and see what I need to do that day and how long I have blocked off to do that task.

So the main thing with being busy while in college I have found is that you have to enjoy everything that you are doing so that it never feels like you are dragging through something. Find a job that you really love, find a major that you are totally passionate about, join clubs and organizations that are things that you totally enjoy doing! And then even though you are really busy you won't feel like you are making yourself do things you will feel like you are hanging out with friends and learning about things that you have always wanted to know about.

It's all worth it at the end of the day!
