Show More
I have been a student athlete my entire high school career, playing on average twenty hours of volleyball per week, managing school, social aspects, and trying to be the best daughter to my parents as I could possibly be. This has been my routine for such a substantial amount of time that frequently being asked "how do you manage your schedule, and maintain your sanity?" is not as bizarre of a conversation starter than most would think. Thankfully, by now I have gotten this grueling schedule down to a science. I believe my time management and ability to prioritize will benefit me immensely regarding my ability to achieve success in college. I have learned procrastination is a students worst nightmare, if I have some free time to get ahead

    Case Study: Missouri State's Public Affairs Mission

    Time management is always something that I’ve had trouble with; I either save all of the tasks I have to get done until the very last minute, or I work on too many tasks at once, which pushes the time I take to complete everything back even farther. 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…

    Personal Narrative: My Golf Experience

    The experience that I went through and that I would like to share was when I played golf in the beginning of the year. I was fine managing my schedule during the first week or two of school, but then I started getting more and more homework as the weeks went on. I had a hard time keeping up with my school work and playing golf. I practiced every day after school and I didn’t really have any time after school to do my homework. Playing golf took up basically all of my time because I played it 5-7 days a week between practicing with the school team or practicing with my golf instructor/coach.…

    SCI 195A Reflective Report

    My experiences in SCI 195A this semester taught by Ingrid Peterson and Dina Schwartz have been nothing less than extraordinary. Being a first semester freshman at a top university, such as the University of Arizona, is a tremendous culture shock even coming from a nationally ranked college preparatory school as I did. Although college is full of opportunity, it entails legions of work! College certainly includes more responsibility such as time management, test taking strategy, and planning for the future. Each of these values (and more) were passed onto me this semester by Ingrid and Dina.…

There is a lot of controversy on whether college is worth the effort, the time, and the money. It’s not, if you think about it, the Federal government has backed over $1 trillion in student loans to young adults who are unemployed, underemployed, and will likely never have the funds to pay it back. Society today thinks that college is the only way to be prosperous because in schools they teach you that it is the only path to take after high school. As a matter of fact, college is not needed to be successful: “not every young person is suited for four years of college… they won’t get much out of it” (Reich 84).…

    Andrew Delbanco's Three Reasons College Still Matters?

    Andrew Delbanco in his article “3 Reasons College Still Matters,” he points out the importance of getting a college degree by saying that citizens must think of the benefits that they are going to get after they graduate from college. He gives three benefits when students get a college degree, and these benefits are: economically, politically, and intellectually educated.
