-- Posted by txhottie at 6:10 pm on Mar. 3, 2008 Im on my second semester at a big university and I am still having a tough time with studying and using my time wisely. I did pretty bad my first semester, this semester is better but there is 1 class that is kicking my butt. Does everything get easier after freshman year is over? -- Posted by Kazakato at 6:11 pm on Mar. 3, 2008 in high school it did for me, college i can't say as much -- Posted by Nemphayas at 6:12 pm on Mar. 3, 2008 I wouldn't know coz i don't go to College. -- Posted by senorita smirnoff at 6:12 pm on Mar. 3, 2008 everything gets easier the more you do it, i would really suggest organising ur time tho, its kinda lame to have a study timetable but until ur able to know how long itll take u to complete the required tasks/study then it really does help to block in times for each subject and stick to them as if it was a work timetable or another class...it helped me anyway:D -- Posted by FutureModelCandace at 6:13 pm on Mar. 3, 2008 Sophmore year is ttly easier without  doubt. -- Posted by The CBL at 1:15 pm on April 8, 2008 Everyone has a rocky start at first.  Just use your experiences and make it better for next year! -- Posted by Prince o palities at 1:30 pm on April 14, 2008 For me it wasn't Sophomore year.  It was my Junior year before I really got the hang of going to school and balancing my time.  Since then, I think I have had a 4.0 GPA.  That sort of thing leads me to believe it isn't so much about being their long enough to get used to it nearly as much as it is taking the time to come to the conscious conclusion that you haven't been setting your priorities right. My wife likes to think that this means always doing your work and making sure that you're completely done with everything before you have any fun or relax at all, but that isn't necessarily the case.  Relaxation and relieving stress should be on your priority list as well.  You function best when your life has balance.  It's about trying new techniques of time management until you come to that balance. That's all probably more than you wanted.  What I'm really trying to say is that if you are working at getting the college thing right, then before too long you'll have it down.  I firmly believe that most people intelligent enough to get into college are smart enough to navigate their way through it.  I don't imagine you're any different.
