In my first semester here at High Point University I have learned a few lessons in The President’s Seminar that will help me throughout the rest of my life. In all of those lessons that were given the two that stuck with me; how to create an effective presentation and how to manage my time.

Last year’s procrastion was probably due to the fact that I was so done with high school. The start of this year I decided that I should change my ways. So I started this year off strong and I didn’t procrastinate. As this year went by I slowly was procrastinating a bit but it wasn’t terrible, but I did need that to change. Luckily our seminar was about Managing Your TIme. I learned that I should prioritize more efficiently. I started to dedicate more time to academics and less time to netflix and hanging out. I learned that you in fact have time for everything you just need to learn how to fit everything into your day. I used to think that I couldn’t possibly do everything in one day. Now I know that it is possible. I try to manage my time effectively
