As college students, we’ve all experienced the rushed, chaotic morning that starts the day off on the wrong foot. It’s not a great feeling and tends to make your overall mood more negative throughout the day. So how can we combat these rough mornings? This is where planning, sleep schedules and morning routines come into play. Plan for tomorrow Planning ahead can mentally prepare you for the following day.

Regardless of your major or credit hours, time management is crucial for academic success. As a first-year student last year, I struggled to find the right balance between having fun and completing assignments on time. Even when I studied, I would often become distracted by chatting with my roommate or friends that lived down the hall. I wanted to solidify friendships at the beginning of the year, and to do so, I would push back completing my homework to hang out with my new friends.
