Balancing a Social Life and Homework

The week of Big Sis/Little Sis consumed a lot of my time, which made it hard to focus on my studies. This past week has shown me that it is really important to stay on task when it comes to my school work.
Almost every day of last week I was constantly doing my homework after 10 o’clock PM-this scenario is not the most ideal path to take when trying to get good grades. Like most college freshmen, I put off my homework as long as I could. In the end, I have realized that it was not worth it to stay up late trying to intelligently complete my homework as quickly as possible. My work built up on top of itself making me stressed out, which is never a good thing. Even though I have learned from this mistake, I am sure it will happen again, but now I know how to avoid it as much as possible.
I already put my coursework in my assignment note book, but that is not enough. I have to make sure I complete everything that is on my list of things to do. For now on I will try as hard as I can to fight the urge to procrastinate, and I will make sure I do not let the time slip away so my homework does not get put off until the last minute.
