Being a student is so much easier said than done, let me tell you.
It has come to that time in the semester that professor call “panic mode” at my school where things just seem to kick into overdrive. Projects & exams appear to occur simultaneously, finals are looming & spring break seems just a few days ago.
I am a worry-wart, panicked stricken, college student who, once things begin to feel slightly overwhelming, reduce myself to my truest form, a ball of anxiety.

I thought planning & planners were a bit unnecessary, if I’m being honest. I picture a planner & the image of a soccer-mom comes to mind; many kids with many places to be, oh how will she manage???
ALAS! I have caved and realized that planners are actually a Godsend & writing things down has helped immensely in my personal success.
It’s a relief to open up my planner & see a color-coded list of everything I need to tackle for the various aspects of my life, such as school, family, & the ever growing tasks of preparing to study abroad.
Nobody needs a fancy planner or journal. I would guess sticky-notes would work just as well, or even jotting down a list onto some paper.
What I’m getting at here is that writing things down? Revolutionary for college students (or anyone with a busy life), I tell you.

Actually buying a planner changed my life! In high school I never used one, but now I feel like, minus textbooks, it’s the school item that I am most willing to invest in!
I totally agree! Without my planner I feel lost & unable to function properly!
