| When you start university you’ll probably find it's not all that easy to balance the time you spend on studying with the time you spend going out with your friends. In fact, one of the biggest problems you’ll have is managing your time. Of course, it's perfectly understandable I mean, in many cases, it’s probably the first time you'll have lived away from home. So you'll have to do lots more things for yourself. like buying your own food, washing your clothes and managing your own money. At the same time, there's no-one there to tell you what time to come home at night, or what time to get up in the morning. On top of that, at university you won't have as many hours of class as you did at school, and your tutors will expect you to study on your own a lot more. So you might feel you've got a lot of free time on your hands. So how do you deal with it? Well, to be honest, I don’t think there’s an easy answer, but I think it helps to go to all your classes, however tired you are. Print a copy of your timetable and put it on the wall in your bedroom. Actually, your university might even have a system for alerting you on your mobile when your lectures are. Apart from that, you could try not going out during the week and keeping your social life for the weekend. I’m not sure that's very easy though. One thing I will say, though, is that at the end of the year, after your exams you can really relax. |
