"Finding Your Flock"

Wow, I can't even believe I'm already in my junior year!!! It seems like yesterday that I was sitting in those same chairs you all are sitting in.  Well, I guess the saying is really true; time does fly when you're having fun!!! Well, I can truly say that I've learned soooooo much while being here at Converse!! For example, my time management skills were what someone would definitely call TERRIBLE!! I remember in my freshman year I was so overwhelmed with work.  Not because there was so much of it, but because I was a procrastinator; yes I admit it!! You see here at Converse, well anywhere, time is EVERYTHING!!! It's funny because I remember my freshman year in Dr.Vaneman's music history class, it was towards the beginning of the year, she was speaking about how to manage time.  She was referring to the entire class but in reality, I got a little note at the end of my music history assignment that stated I shouldn't turn in work at like 4 am.  So, that sort of made my reality hit. Well, just for a little bit! I would say it lasted for about a month, and then guess what, I was back at it again.  No one couldn't tell me what I was doing was wrong, because in my mind as long as the assignment was completed by the due time, I was fine.  But eventually, it all caught up with me.  Once again, I have to admit I CRASHED!! I was no longer waking up on time for class, I couldn't stay awake in some of my other classes, I was a complete wreck. So once again reality stepped in, but this time it never left! I am proud to say that my experience actually helped me; because I am not one of those people that can just do work at like 3 am and actually function like there is nothing wrong later that day.  I am a normal human being, and I found that out the hard way.  I would advise you all to have fun in college, but stay focused, PLEASE!!! O and don't forget to manage your time, I promise you all will thank me later!!
