Welcome back Paricious viewers!
Did you miss me? Obviously, you did…right? Well, I honestly missed my viewership and this channel. Sharing my ideas and research (on the latest fashion trends to professional growth) has been amazingly effective in increasing my own self-awareness and maintaining a balance between school and personal life. My question of the day for you: What is a task or activity that keep you productive? Write your answers in the comments below.
However, my goal for this article is to inform you all on “WHAT IN THE WORLD I HAVE BEEN DOING?” From the past few months, I have received this very question in text messages from family and friends and through chats with my viewers. As cliché as this may sound, “a) Fall quarter of college was difficult, b) Leadership responsibilities required me to juggle midterms and quarterly event calendars”. No excuses, college is difficult. It is difficult because we were always conditioned to structured coursework in high school and often monitored by our teachers, parents/guardians, and counselors. These support systems vanish in college, so you are wholly responsible for what you make of your day. As a sophomore, I have learned to maneuver through overloaded tasks, so here are some tips for any of you incoming college students or even those feeling a bit overwhelmed by their study schedule:
1. Mandatory or Not, Attend Class
2. Be aware of your resources (Career Center, Student Support Ambassadors/Mentors, etc.)
3. Make a Four-Year Plan (EARLY!)
4. Learn the Basics of Personal Finance
5. Write Down Next-Day Tasks Before Going to Bed
6. Join Clubs + Organizations (BUT, Be Mindful of Your Own Capacity)

Always and Forever,
