Time Management

Throughout college it is very important to manage your time correctly. If you are able to manage your time thriftily, you can find yourself with more time on your hands. This is a major issue in the college environment because of the absence of parents. A lot of freshman that are in college had parents that did a lot of the daily chores for them. When you get to college, all of those responsibilities are now on your shoulders. Another important part of managing your time relates to your extra curricular activities and your involvement in them. A lot of students at Butler participate in some kind of activity throughout the school. Whether it be playing a sport or being involved in plays and dance. This part of your college life is important because these activities are hobbies and should have extra time put into them. Everything you do requires practice to be good at it. Also, quite often you might have to do extra work -outside of practice so you can get better. I know that with many sports, you don't just practice and play during the season - instead it involves work and commitment throughout the entire year. This can play a major role in how you spend your time and what you decide to do with it. I play baseball and the biggest amount of time we have off is Christmas break. Though, our coach is still going to give us a workout schedule that we must follow in order to stay in shape.
