Study Tips: How to Manage Your College Schedule


College may be the first time that you are able to live on your own and make most of your own decisions. This situation can become difficult if there are a great deal of things going on that can distract you from your studies. By managing your time well, you will have enough time for studying and having fun.

To keep your time organized you will need an alarm clock, an address book, a calendar, and a personal organizer. Choose an alarm clock that you are sure will awaken you from a sound sleep in your twin XL dorm bed. Your calendar should have large areas for each day of the month where you can write notes about your personal schedule. Transfer the information from your calendar into your personal organizer. Keep your personal organizer with you when you go out so that you can add new information as you need to. 

Go through the syllabus of each of your college courses and copy all of the important dates onto your calendar and into your organizer. Include the dates for assignments, tests and exams.

Keep your reading materials with you whenever you go out. This will enable you to do extra reading when you are waiting for appointments or between your scheduled classes.

Use your calendar to back track the time you need for assignments and studying for tests. Determine the amount of time you will need and schedule in the time on your calendar and in your organizer. You will probably need about two weeks for assignments and at least two days for tests. This will help to ensure that you use your time to meet your academic obligations.

Whenever possible, work on your assignments in an appropriate environment. If you do not have one where you live, take the time to go to the library where you can study without distractions.

No matter what your budget or your particular circumstances, there is a split king that will suit you just perfectly. Why Are Split Kings Made?   A split king is made as a solution for comfortable sleeping for a couple. The bed is divided into two sections so that each person has their own customized side of the bed. This would allow for one person to have a firm mattress while the other person has a soft one, or for one person to have an electric blanket while the other one can sleep blissfully in the chilly night air that they prefer. Sometimes a split king is made for people with medical issues so that the person needing specific medical bedding -- like a bed that sits up and reclines automatically for example -- can have it on their own side but not on the side of the person who is not in need

History of The College Dorm Room

For centuries now, the college experience has long been associated with living in dormitories. From the first university in the United States the modern colleges and universities of today, students have had the opportunity and experience of living with one another at a pivotal time in their lives. All students in dorms are relatively young, typically between 18 and 23 years old, and all of them have a goal of getting a degree in mind. It's an experience that defines those first moments in an adult life, and that helps students learn the importance of responsibility, the benefit of independence and the joys of student camaraderie. However, while the general experience has remained the same, the dorms themselves have changed a lot over the years. From the archaic and cold buildings that were built hundreds of years ago to the modern dorms of today that more closely resemble resorts, the style and feel of college dorms has continued to change over time.
