So Much To Do, So Little Time!

     Let's face it-distractions are everywhere. They come in many different forms; text messages, phone calls, Facebook, social events, the list goes on. With all of these wonderful options of entertainment, we find ourselves slowly drifting away from what we really should be doing. My biggest problem with time management begins with getting distracted by all of the fun activities and programs that Converse has to offer. There's theatre, dance, music, and hanging out with friends; not to mention all of the things to do outside of school, like exploring downtown Spartanburg, taking trips to Greenville, going to concerts, and just finding excuses to get off of campus. All of these things are great, up to a point. However, by declaring a music major, a lot of time has to be committed to practice, studying, and, of course, attending class. At times, I get frustrated with homework or practicing and think, "Oh, I'll just finish it later" and my work never gets done. That leaves me feeling unprepared and nervous about classes or performances. Procrastination and frustration are two major things that affect my time management skills. Over the years, I have come to realize that procrastination has another form. This is commonly known as Facebook. Yes, I, like most everybody else in the whole entire world, can very easily get distracted by being able to reconnect with old friends with the click of a button. It seems that every time I get on my laptop, I somehow end up on Facebook. Alas, this is a bad habit that should be broken. All in all, time management is the key to being successful in college. However, if you're as easily distracted as I am, it takes commitment and dedication to get your work done before going out and having fun. With that said, I'll go and finish my Theory homework! :)
