Conquering The Race Against Time

When time is of the essence

Conquering The Race Against Time
Mani Dasoju

There is always a constant race against time! There are only 24 hours in a day but we always long for extra time in order to finish most of our tasks. However, there are ways in which you can more efficiently make full use of the valuable time allotted to us.

First of all, everyone should consistently strive to organize themselves and plan out their daily tasks and assignments. Writing down the assignments and activities planned for the day enables students and adults to create a game plan that will maximize their chances of success.

Having a clear mental map of what to do next and after what interval is a great way to approach the challenges of adhering to deadlines and time management. Time management is a major asset that will prove to be extremely useful in a person's potential career and throughout their life.

As a matter of fact, a balanced schedule is a key factor which helps keep a person motivated and dynamic when it comes to tackling the various tasks of life. When a person creates an individualized schedule that best matches their lifestyle, they are more aware of their surroundings and sharper in their daily activities.

Time is indeed of the essence and it is solely our responsibility to be able to construct our daily activities in an orderly fashion by keeping the various time constraints in mind. In addition, as students, we are constantly expected to perform on timed exams and assessments. Almost our entire academic career thus far has been geared towards timed assessments and submitting various assignments by a certain deadline. Deadlines govern our daily lives and it will ultimately govern our existence on earth.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
