Sleep Eat Play

Sleep, go to class, eat, hang out with friends, sleep, go to class, eat, hang out with friends. That seems to be the basic overall pattern of my life as a college student. However I’ve become pretty good at splitting my time up fairly amongst the four pretty well, now I’m no professional and there are areas for improvement but so far it is working pretty well for me.

Now, when I’m not sleeping or eating during the day I’m almost always doing my homework. Often times I take a nap after my first two classes which end at 9am on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays after my nap I normally eat and do homework which for me works best because if I’m tired while doing homework I mind as have had a 10 year old do it. Looking back at my data this week I spent about 60 hours sleeping and 30 hours in class or doing homework. I also found that I tend to do more homework on Mondays and Friday’s this is probably due to the fact I only have two classes during the day and both are over by 9am, leaving me a lot of free time.

My nights mostly consist of my friends. My friends are a huge part of me and without them I would probably go insane, so for me it is important that I make time for them. Sometimes we go out and sometimes we just stay in and watch movies. I spent approximately 48 hours with them this past week including the weekend when I went home. Although I do spend a lot of time with my family and friends I am almost always able to get my work done and in on time.

Although my system has worked for me so far there are a couple of things I can definitely work on.  One not spending so much time sleeping during the day, I need to start getting to bed earlier so I am more awake during the day. Next I need to figure out time during every day to do enough homework where I won’t have to do so much on Monday’s and Friday’s. Last I would like to try and not go home so much on the weekends but that is definitely going to be a struggle. Although we are only a month into school my system I have works pretty well for me and I am happy to say there are only a few things I need to tweak.
