Time Management

I never realized how hard it would be to manage my time at college. Everyone always said how hard it was and I figured it was just a thing all college kids say. Now I know that it is true. Playing soccer and having fifteen credits is making it hard to find time for homework and studying. When I get back from soccer all I ever want to do is take a nap and regain some energy, but I can't because of homework and having to go to study tables. It doesn't help that I've had to miss almost three classes in every class. We have been traveling every where lately and it's taking a toll on everyone's bodies and minds. I need to find a better way to manage my time and not forget about homework due dates, or what time practice is and where it's at. Hopefully as the year goes on I figure out what is the best strategy for me. If it's a planner or a calendar, to make sure that I know when and where, or even alarms on my phone letting me know when things are due. It's the beginning of my freshmen year of college so I am not that concerned that I am having trouble with it now. I know that I will find a way that works with me best because it always has in the past, and I hate missing assignments. Especially because I just forgot about them because I have too much on my mind.
