Academic Success Reflection

Improved Essays
To me, academic success means getting good grades (A’s and B’s) in my all coursework and maintaining my overall GPA high and then finding a good job. Being a full time student, having a job, and having a personal life, things might not happen as planned. In order to gain academic success as well as have my life balanced, utilizing time very wisely is very important for me.

Although I have a habit of checking my Facebook and instagram frequently, this week I tried keeping this minimum and prioritized my study first. I avoided playing games on my cell phone. Also I cut off time from my activities like watching movies, several TV series, going for a shopping etc. instead I utilized them on doing my assignments. Overall, I prioritized on doing my assignments and studies rather than other activities and this utilized my free time.

Although this week went well, there can be some barriers in the future that can make me unable to maintain my regular schedule. So, in order to make it smooth, it will also include setting a goal because it will help me stay focused. Since reading and writing are the most to gain academic success, my goal will be studying and giving priority to my all coursework like of this week. I will prioritize on reading and taking good notes in every class first in order to achieve this goal. I will encourage myself and devote my time to accomplish

There were three quizzes/tests this week which was a little rough but I think I got through them well. I thought that the Socratic seminar in LA was a little bit of a dud because…

    According to the time management calendar activity, when I mapped out my daily activities for a whole week, I was able to see that I don’t study enough, and I don’t sleep enough. Because of this realization I am designating more time for study hours during the day, and going to sleep earlier and in turn improving both my grades and my health. Although I spend the majority of my free time studying, I know there is more that I could be doing. Going forward, my plan is to spend more time studying on the weekends when I do not have assignments that are due, instead of taking a break from schoolwork. This will improve my grades in the long run as well.…
