5 Simple Ways To Stay Organized

1. Get a planner or calendar, even a whiteboard!

I always wrote stuff in my phone on a calendar too, but truthfully getting a planner really helped me. I write out everything and when I complete a task and highlight when I am done.

2. Make time and Prioritize

Prioritize and give time to complete tasks For instance, I give myself 1.5 hours for homework, 7 hours for sleep, interning for 7 hours, gym for one hour.

3. Sticky notes

Bookmarking my agenda in my notebook helps me stay on task and even writing important things on sticky notes and sticky them visibly helps.

4. Boxes and labels, but keep the boxes organized!

Don't just throw things in boxes without labels. I have an art box, a box with my paid bills. Even folders help!

5. MAKE SURE YOU RELAX

You can't stay organized if you are stressed all the time. Make sure you plan time to relax.

Hope these tips help you stay organized!

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.

So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
