Improved Essays
Coming into college is very stressful for all incoming Freshman. We all worry about what we are going to wear, who we are going to hang-out with, or how we are going to make it through a long four years.

Even though I have gotten to where I am now with these less-than-average time management skills, these skills will not fly once I am out of college and flung into the working world. Whether I am working under an independent company or attempting to start my own business, nothing important will get done when needed, and I will just be creating more and more stress for myself. And, given that I have had struggles with anxiety, this is not a great picture that I am painting. So, time management is an important thing for me to better myself…

    Managing time can be a big obstacle when you have tendency to say yes to most everything a person ask you to do for them. Saying yes has got me into trouble with managing my time and having too much on my plate.

A solution to this would be updating my resume with volunteer work and find those people that can help get connections within my community.…
