How do you plan to get/stay organized at USC?
As a lifetime procrastinator with no need for cleanliness in my room, it has been difficult to adjust to more organized habits here at USC. I plan to get organized by setting out a certain time every day to do homework and other school related things. So far this has worked out pretty well and has kept me from falling behind in any of my classes.
How do you manage your time?
Although I'm not very good at staying organized, I do manage my time fairly well. I am a very habitual person, and enjoy doing things on a schedule. For example, every day I go to the gym at the same time with my friends depending on what day it is. This is how I manage most of my activities.
What strategies have worked in the past?
In high school, I didn't have very good study habits, but I used the same strategies as now to manage my time. Over the summer, I would wake up at about the same time every day, and do different activities at about the same time. Some people might think this would be a repetitive way to live, but it makes an easy way to keep track of my schedule.
What adjustments do you anticipate making during college?
Now that I'm in college, school actually matters so I will be studying. This is probably the biggest adjustment for me. I never studied at all until now. It has had a bigger impact than I thought, its difficult to sit down and study when you have never done it before. I didn't really care about grades that much in high school but now it has become the opposite. So because of this, simply studying will be my biggest adjustment.
