Let me tell you, thats no way to survive your next few years of school.
I know, Ive been there.
Since Ive graduated, though, Ive realized that those people were right.

Its because theyre trying to teach you how to learn time management.
Let me tell you, thats no way to survive your next few years of school.
Get on top of scheduling your homework out right away.

Professors give out homework schedules at the beginning of the semester for a reason!
This will make your social life way less stressed than if you never looked at a calendar.
When it came to buying groceries, I was out of luck.
College is great, but its expensive.
Dont let that get you down, though.
Take a Second Look at Your Finances
Do you know where your money is really going?
If you dont, you probably dont even realize when youre overspending on things you dont need.
Most importantly, your money should be going toward your bills and any debt you might have.
Then it should cover the necessities, like food and gas, if you drive to class.
After that it can be spent on fun things that make you happy.
Still not sure how to budget?
Maybe first take a look at how much youre currently paying for things.
One of the biggest bank breakers that I discovered when I did this was living on campus.
On average,off-campus housing studentssave $2,238 more than on-campus students each year.
Thats a whole lot of extra ramen.
Dont Forget to Put Classes First
Youre there to learn, so dont forget that school comes first.
These things are great, and theyre what makes college fun, so they should be pursued in moderation.
But I was having so much fun that my grades started to slide.
Youre not paying a boatload of cash so you’re able to hit the town every night.
You enrolled because you wanted to earn that diploma, so always put school first.
Youll thank me later when you want to revisit your favorite memories from your first years at school.
