Living the Successful College Life: Juggling Your Schedule

If you haven’t snagged a scholarship (tip: it may not be too late! Keep looking!), you don’t want to get into serious debt before you graduate by taking out loans. Unless you have parents or rich uncles with the income to pay your college tuition, you may find it necessary to work while you attend school. Figuring out a good schedule that allows you time for a job, study, sleep, and recreation can be tricky, but it’s not impossible to do. Having a job while attending school can be a drag, but try to think of it as a lesson in responsibility and growing up. If you’re lucky enough to live in LA Tech housing or other campus housing that provides furnished living spaces and easy-to-access social and exercise areas, the task becomes easier. Here are some steps to take to prevent yourself from burning out even with a packed schedule.

Determining Your Priorities

It’s time to be a grown-up, which, though it isn’t always as fun as the more carefree life of childhood or adolescence, is a good time to develop positive habits that will benefit you the rest of your life. Besides, being responsible doesn’t mean nothing is fun anymore. Determining your priorities for your scheduling also helps you avoid a lot of stress that develops from procrastination, worry about the future, and money issues. Reducing stress helps you feel free and productive. Sit down when you have some quiet time to think and ask yourself what is most important for you to be doing right now. As a college student, you are likely working toward a degree that will increase your chances of enjoying your career as well as being able to earn enough money to support yourself and a future family. If working at a job is a necessary component, this is also a priority. Adequate sleep will help you have the energy to meet your commitments. This might mean your social life suffers a bit, and you won’t be able to attend quite as many all-night parties as you’d like; but if you’re going to college merely to party, you might want to re-think the whole college thing for the time being. While you prioritize, realize that if any one area is taking up so much time that you’ll never get a chance for doing something you like (recreation), you’ll probably burn out. Adjust your priorities and schedule accordingly. Maybe take fewer credits or apply for some grants.

Plan Your Schedule on Paper

Once you know where your priorities lie, work out your schedule on paper or on some electronic calendaring system. If you are naturally drawn to having a structured schedule, this step will be easy and enjoyable. If you like things more flexible, a bare-bones schedule will do as long as you firmly include your top priorities. Depending on how necessary your job is for your financial well-being, you will also need to work your classes and other activities around working hours. Perhaps you can work early-morning hours, finishing your work day before classes start so you don’t have daytime conflicts. Or nail down a job before registering for classes so you know exactly what class times are best for you. Assign yourself some time during the day or week to study or complete homework. What time is left over is yours to do with as you please.

Finding the Fun in Adulthood

Being responsible for yourself while living in LA Tech housing doesn’t mean all the fun is over. Part of the joy in life is having new experiences, making new friends, and meeting challenges head-on. If there isn’t something to look forward to, your life will become dull and boring. Even adults are allowed to enjoy life. Parents, responsible relatives, student advisors, and mentors can help you find a good balance that works for you as you put together your student schedule.

Search for Online Travel Deals

The economy is bad yet, some families were able to set aside a budget for a fun family vacation. Here in Florida, the slow season is not really the typical "slow" that we have in mind. In fact; when I visited Disney World on weekdays last week, thousands of tourists flocked the theme parks. The influx of tourists usually happens during summer vacation where children have few days off from school. On weekends, there are more fun activities intended for children and young at hearts too. Going to places have always been an exciting activity for the whole family so; it is always included in the list of priorities for the whole year. There are great deals online so; when you book early for your travels, you can truly find a good deal.

Gorgeous Cocoa Beach

You probably heard about Cocoa Beach in Florida huh? Ever wondered what's so special about this place? The waves from the Atlantic, the white sand, the magical view at sunrise, amazing place for moon and star gazing, and the food at the Pier is just deliciously good. Just look at the shoreline below.I took these pictures at the Fishing Pier on a Sunday about 9 AM and people started to crowd the area. On this particular day, a storm is coming but, it never stops people from going to the beach.The Pier has 5 restaurants that serves tasty food, has 4 bars, gift shops, and you will not get bored because there's a live band that entertains everyone for free.If you come here, you should check out Mai Tiki Bar at the edge of the 800 foot long fishing pier. It has an entrance fee but, you will enjoy the view, have a quick drink and just enjoy the breeze from the sea.If you are hungry, food is just an order away. It's affordable and if you love the beach and seafood, this is your place.If you are having a vacation at Disney in Orlando, travel about an hour and you will reach to this beautiful beach. You can play the volleyball, go swimming and fishing, have fun eating sea foods and most of all, try surfing at Cocoa Beach. This place is famous for it! See you at Cocoa Beach soon!

Paradise Island of Bahamas

Bahamas is one of the places that is truly beautiful and has a spectacular view. No wonder that some Hollywood stars consider this place as home in fact, Anna Nicole Smith was buried in the island. Look at the deep blue waters, so clear with birds hovering, prying on fish.Sean Connery, Eddie Murphy, John Travolta, Mariah Carey, Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan has a property here as well as Nicholas Cage who owns two properties in Paradise Island and Exuma Chains.There are many more celebrities who owns a private island here. If I am rich, I would surely make this place a summer home.The place is very clean.That is Atlantis in Paradise Island, an island in the Bahamas known before as Hog Island. It is located just off the shore of the city of Nassau ( where I took the picture). Paradise Island is located on the northern edge of the island of New Providence, best known for the sprawling 'Vegas-by-the-sea resort' which is the Atlantis.Paradise Island is connected to the island of New Providence by two bridges that cross Nassau Harbour. See the picture of the bridge above.This is the Festival Place, a welcome area in Nassau Harbor.Isn't it beautiful?

Discover Anna Maria Island this Fall, on Florida's Gulf Coast

I love traveling the coastal area of Florida. There is a place along Tampa Bay which is known with its breathtaking beauty with golden sands, turquoise waters and beautiful scenery. Anna Maria Island has three cities namely Anna Maria at the north, Holmes Beach in the middle area and Bradenton Beach located at the south. This island is a nice place for wedding ceremony and wedding reception. In fact, anna marie island is the Wedding Capital of Florida and annually they have wedding festival in this island initiated by the Chamber of Commerce.Like most of the coastal places here in Florida, this island has warm and fantastic waters. If you plan to travel to Anna Marie Island, I suggest you do it before the holidays and after the holidays to avoid the big crowd. The prices of anna maria island rentals and anna maria island hotels are lower before and after the holidays. It is very affordable and you will enjoy your time exploring the island. Most Island visitors enjoy the accommodation of vacation rentals because of they will have their own private pool, garden and even a waterfront garden. If you come with your family and friends for a vacation, the vacation rentals are ideal.

Blue Horizon Hotel

This is the beautiful back view from Blue Horizon Hotel in Orlando Florida where my friend and her family stayed for a week. If you don't care about the traffic to get in and out of this area and you love this view, you might love this hotel.Their daughter is out of school so, they decided to visit Disney again. They had a blast! Their room has this spectacular view of serenity, far too ironic when you see the front view of the hotel. The traffic is insanely unbearable. Well, Disney area is like that everyday so, doesn't really matter.Here she is, holding her Canon DSLR camera, such a beautiful caption.
Look at the huge pool below. After the scorching day at Disney, this is such an inviting place to come "home" and enjoy a splashing moment to cool down, right? Or just walk towards the lake and just enjoy the cool breeze in the area. My friend really got this place at reasonable price for a week. They have a terrace, a bedroom and place for the kids, a good size living room and a kitchen, two bathrooms and a laundry area. Vacation that feels like you are just at home!

Branson Vacation

It is my wish to visit Branson, Missouri because I saw the pictures of my cousin visiting the place while they stay in one of Branson vacation rentals. Titanic museum, river walk, endless live entertainment, rejuvenating spas, restaurants, golf courses are just few of the many attractions found in Branson. If you plan a midwest vacation getaway, Branson in Missouri tops the list. Booking for a place to stay is not a problem because Branson has so many vacation rentals to choose from.

My sisters-in law and their family will visit the place by July avoiding the winter vacation. As for me and my husband, we plan to visit the place in winter times for me to experience the winter activities of the place. Actually, it doesn't matter what your preference for a vacation in Branson. This place is great and offers so many activities in four season variations. Depending on your free time, book your stay here and you will experience a wonderful midwest vacation only in Branson.
