TIME MANAGEMENT

One of the hardest things in making the transition from high school to college is realizing that you alone (not your parents or professors) are in charge of how your time is spent. Many times college freshmen have not learned to manage their time effectively because they have never really had the opportunity. In high school much of your time was managed for you. College offers many more choices of ways to use (and often waste) time.

You may have had all A's and B's in high school are now receiving C's and D's in college. Just because you are receiving lower grades does not mean tht you are less capable than those receiving higher grades but your study skills, including time management, may need some work.
