My Work Load

Hey all,

They say that the recommended amount of studying time for every hour you are in class is three hours. Being a college student is definitely a full time job. I have found this to be so true.

I’ve been pretty swamped with work lately (ever since spring break ended)…the course load at Holy Cross is seriously no joke. But it keeps me busy, and I like being put under stress, because that is when I do my best work. I have a draft for a research paper, 2 essays,  a lab worksheet, and problem set. All of which are due this week, and I also have an exam to study for. This does not reflect my usual work load though; it is not usually this heavy. An example for a usual week would be a problem set for math, maybe 150 pages of reading for my Montserrat, a short reading for my English class, and some textbook reading for Psychology.

On the bright side, it is almost Easter Recess!! (A perk of going to a Catholic institution-a lot of time off for the holidays.)

UPDATED: So the week went by; I survived!!! And I can say, I only stayed up late once during that week. Obviously don’t wait until the night before something is due to work on it, but I totally understand that procrastinating is tempting. But from experience, I usually have both time to study and hang out with my friends so don’t worry about the workload in college taking time from making time for your friends.
