Try to block your classes together with as few breaks as possible, except a 45-1hr break for lunch and/or dinner.  If you are a morning person, begin your day in the morning.  I have taken both morning and night classes, and I prefer the morning classes.  Oh, and if possible, try to get your classes only on a couple of days a week, say Tues. and Thurs., or M,W,F.  This helps with having a break, working, and studying.  This allows for all your homework to be done, and for you to be able to have a social life.  I prefer Tues and Thurs classes, b/c I get a long weekend, but in the end, it is up to you.  Also, try to follow the courses that your school reccomends as much as possible.  This keeps you from being a senior and taking a freshman course, and vice versa.  Hope this helps! Good luck with School!

i run 15 credit hours and have two jobs that add up to a full time 10 and 32 hours yeah i didnt get a lot of sleep this semester and well i had to pull 2 24 hour days a week to keep it all together. the problem is that you cannot just take 5 hours in a row the schedules at most colleges will keep you from having a perfect schedule. if you can do it you really wont have a social life. work it around if you can but, bet on having a part time job at night

With regard to the bills, I would try a computer program such as Quicken.  You need to make a list and prioritize projects until you get caught up.  You might try hiring an administrative assistant to help you with answering phones, paying the bills, filing, etc.  You could probably hire a college student for a few bucks an hour.

Always go to class.  Be there early and stay late.  Sit in the front.  Ask questions.  Be interested.  Form study groups with other students.  Go to class every time.  Do the assignments early then check them over.  Start on assignments immediately when you get them.  Be friends with others who are trying to excel in class.  Do extra research on subjects that interest you.  Look at the syllabus and do all the reading up front.  Then read it again just before the time you are supposed to have it read.  Do your work neatly and check it over.  This is from a former college professor.

If your question is "How do you manage your time?" I can answer that.  I have a grid that contains every half hour that I am awake, Monday-Saturday.  I type in the activities that I know will not change (ie. classes) and print out the grid.  Then I write the items that I know I want/need to do in a given week.  I fill them into the open boxes and stick to the plan.  I make Sundays "unscheduled" time during which I do not do homework.

There are a few good ways to do this. First is financial aid. Second, depending on what state you are in, there should be several local scholarship programs. There are also other scholarships out there, ask the college you intend to go to for information on them. Last, there is always a part time job. Many places will work with you on a schedule ,that fits around your class times, if you tell them you are attending college. Hope this helps you. :)

I understand completely! The best way is to manage your time efficiently. When you get home from school set and follow a schedule. For example, give yourself a half hour to get a snack and to situated yourself. Next begin with the subject that will require the most concentration and effort. don't work for hours straight because it'll increase your chances of getting distracted. Work in hour increments and reward yourself by allowing ten minute breaks in between. Make sure that when you do homework and study that your t.v's are off radios are off and there's quite so you can concentrate. If home is took hectic try the school or your local library, the setting of your study area is crucial. If you're not one to study in dead silence fine, just make sure it's comfortable and that you can actually focus and get work done in a timely manner. This way if you get all your homework done right away you will be able to sleep easy at night without having to worry if something didn't get finished and you will have time to relax and watch your favorite shows. Just remember, set up a schedule that will make the best of your time and relaxation is only a few homework problems away.

Some of these tips are critical during your first weeks, while the others are meant for longer-term guidance and survival. Whatever you do, be sure to be yourself and try to enjoy your college experience as much as possible. Expect to feel some stress and homesickness, but don't let these issues wear you down. \n\nGo to all orientations. Do you really need to go on yet another campus tour? Yes. The faster you learn your way around campus -- and around all the red tape -- the more at ease you'll feel and the better prepared you'll be when issues arise. \n\nGet to know your roommate and others in your residence hall. The people you live with, most of whom are going through similar experiences and emotions, are your main safety net -- not only this year, but for all your years. You may change roommates after the first semester or you may stay roommates for all four years -- just take the time to get to know your fellow first-year students. \n\nGet Organized. In high school, the teachers tended to lead you through all the homework and due dates. In college, the professors post the assignments -- often for the entire semester -- and expect you to be prepared. Buy an organizer, a PDA, a big wall calendar -- whatever it takes for you to know when assignments are due. \n\nFind the ideal place for you to study. It may be your dorm room or a cozy corner of the library, but find a place that works best for you to get your work done -- while avoiding as many distractions as possible. \n\nGo to class. Obvious, right? Maybe, but sleeping in and skipping that 8 am class will be tempting at times. Avoid the temptation. Besides learning the material by attending classes, you'll also receive vital information from the professors about what to expect on tests, changes in due dates, etc. \n\nBecome an expert on course requirements and due dates. Professors spend hours and hours preparing course syllabi and calendars so that you will know exactly what is expected of you -- and when. One of the lamest excuses a student can give a professor: "I didn't know it was due today." \n\nMeet with your professors. Speaking as a professor, I can assure you there are only upsides to getting to know your professors, especially if later in the semester you run into some snags. Professors schedule office hours for the sole purpose of meeting with students -- take advantage of that time. \n\nGet to know your academic adviser. This is the person who will help you with course conflicts, adding or dropping courses, scheduling of classes for future semesters, deciding on majors and minors. This person is a key resource for you -- and should be the person you turn to with any academic issues or conflicts. And don't be afraid of requesting another adviser if you don't click with the one first assigned to you. \n\nSeek a balance. College life is a mixture of social and academic happenings. Don't tip the balance too far in either direction. One of my favorite former students always used to say her motto was to "study hard so she could play hard." \n\nGet involved on campus. A big problem for a lot of new students is a combination of homesickness and a feeling of not quite belonging. A solution? Consider joining a select group -- and be careful not to go overboard -- of student organizations, clubs, sororities or fraternities, or sports teams. You'll make new friends, learn new skills, and feel more connected to your school. \n\nStrive for good grades. Another obvious one here, right? Remember the words of the opening paragraph; while good grades could have come naturally to you in high school, you will have to earn them in college -- and that means setting some goals for yourself and then making sure you work as hard as you can to achieve them. \n\nTake advantage of the study resources on campus. Just about all colleges have learning labs and tutors available. If you're having some troubles, these resources are a

First, discover your morals and what guides your life(Religion, Work, Family). What is important to you?\n\nThen, make a list of things to do, places to be, things to remember.\n\nWrite events and due dates on calenders, and put the most important things to you on the closest dates, leaving the less important and petty things for later. If it is extremely small, go ahead and get it out of the way, but remember that many small tasks add up to a lot of time.\n\nKeep an organizer/planner/schedule so you don't have to worry or try to remember when something is or say what was that thing i was planning to do Saturday morning.\n\nGive yourself a reasonable amount of time to do these things and pencil that allotted time on your schedule. Then you will know when and how long everything is. If you go over or under that time, adjust it the next time, so you will have some free time in there.\n\nGood luck and God Bless!

I know what you mean I've got an essay that's due on Friday, two more essays due in the New Year and my dissertation.\nI've got four children and I find the easiest way to get time on my own is to leave the kids with the wife and book a room in the library and stay there for as long as possible, untill I get done what needs to be done. Also if I have a lecture in the morning I get to the library for 6:00am and do my work pre-lecture.

Here's my schedule, except I work too.\n\nGet up and showered, \nmake breakfast for you,kids and hubby. \nGet kids up to eat. \nget kids bathed and dressed. \ntake kids to daycare.  \nGo to class.  \ndo homework in between classes\nCall in and check on kids. \nGo to next two classes.  \ndo more homework.  \nGo get kids. \ncook dinner\nsay hello to significant other.  \nwatch an hour or so of tv. \nPut kids to bed\nWhen all is quiet do more homework.  \n\nIt all depends on how many classes you are taking, when they are scheduled, and if you plan on working at the same time.You've gotta do the homework while the kids are in daycare or it will never get done, because when you are home there are all the other things you will need to do, like laundry, dishes, cleaning, breathing.  It's tough, but go for it!!

i think it depends on the college, but for mine it was- go to the colleges website and click on their academic calendar and that should tell you which days are holidays, etc.

I would write about how keeping a schedule can organize your entire life and make yourself seem more reliable.  Give examples of how it can do this.

You should sit down with an advisor in the Department of Psychology at your school (or potential school) and discuss this.  The advisor will help you to make a plan based on your previous experience, number of credits you are going to take per term, and so forth.  Then you'll have a schedule that you can easily follow for your college career, and you'll know exactly how long it will take you.
