For all new college students, managing time wisely is a new challenge that many did not have to deal with in high school. However, with the right approach, anyone can be successful as a college student and still have a good time.

Ø  Don't spend time laying around

Everyone's first instinct after a long class might be to lie in their bed and wait until their next class. Don't fall into this trap.follow a routine in sleeping, don't sleep too much or too less.

Ø  Have a set time to study for each class

Studying every day is important and if you know when you are going to study you can plan around these times. If you make a schedule of how many days you have to study for an exam, you can study day by day for a short period of time without feeling that you have too much to study. Many people learn at different rates; some people can study in small amounts and get it, while others may have to study in larger amounts. It doesn't matter how long you study or how you study as long as you get the material and feel confident enough to do well on the exams.

Ø  Take up a new activity

Although many might think this will make one's day even more hectic, it will force you to be even more conscious as to how you are using your time.

Ø  Avoid AIM, Orkut, Myspace, Twitter and Facebook

Although these can be three of the most addictive activities on a computer, try not to pay attention to either of them until after homework is finished. They also tend to make you less involved in school activities and more connected with old/online friends.

Ø  Use a planner

Life in college can seem so much more organized when everything one needs to do is written out and planned for in the future.

Ø  Don't stress out

Instead of spending all day telling yourself that your life is too stressful, get to work so you'll have more free time.

Find how you study and work best to make what time you have productive. Music and noise can really help or hold back your studying. Also, at least try to use study buddies. It's a great way to share notes, ideas, and meet people.

Avoid constant partying and try to get a good night of sleep to cut back on daytime fatiguedo not take much caffeine before bed time or use mobile.
