<p>And if you have poor grammar, you’re not doing the first one correctly.</p>
<p>Well played. I wonder if he really is a ‘beast’ given his cognitive paucity, dropping ill-placed posts instead of turds…</p>
<p>Make a timetable and stick to it. 21 credits, 20 hrs a week, 3.7. Stop wasting time on things that don’t make sense, and whenever you have free time - don’t go on FB, use that time to do the little things that don’t take much time!!</p>
<p>My advice; lighten your school load! Who says you have to take 15-20 credits a semester. 12 is considered full-time. Whats the rush to graduate in 4 years? College is fun, you should stretch it out as much as you can.</p>

<p>It really is all about finding the most efficient usage of your limited time.
Multi-tasking could be the solution.</p>
<p>If you are a young woman, get a part time job as a stripper.
You get paid to socialise (and the pay is better than Walgreens)
If you are a young man get, a job as bartender in a strip club
You then get paid to socialise (whilst being elevated to superstar status in your dorm)</p>
<p>Either way, don’t tell you parents, but you’ll make more money and have more time for study.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, I don’t have parental support. In fact, I have to support someone back home. Play is not possible for me.</p>
<p>Just being a college freshmen I myself know that class, work, and job limits your play. Having a job, going to class and doing your assignments as you should your literallyworking for your “degree” 24’7. You will find your most valued time likely during the weekend. Anything from 8-15 hours a week seems resonable, though you may be able to utilize your time better if you do not have to work every day of the week.</p>
<p>just remember to take some time for yourself. read, play, relax. this is the best time of our life…lets enjoy it.</p>
<p>I’ll be working 30 hours a week and attending school full time. I plan to do all of my classes on either M,W or TuTh, leaving me with 5 days a week out of class, and 4 consecutive days to myself.</p>
<p>It can be kind of hard. I worked two jobs this summer and I was only taking two online classes and I found it to be quite a struggle, then again 50-65 hour weeks are no fun :[ Honestly with 8 hours a week I’m sure you can find some flexibility. I don’t mean to sound rude or pretentious but honestly I wish I had to work only 8 hours a week. Financially I need more hours to pay for school. I pay for my education, books, everything on my own.</p>
<p>This semester I work 40 hours a week and I’m taking 5 upper division classes.</p>
<p>I don’t know if this will work for you or not, but there’s this organization book I read that suggests getting things done closer to the date they are assigned instead of the due date. For example, if you have to write a 6 page paper and its due 2 weeks from now, try to get it done by the end of the first week as close to the assigned date as possible. That way you have some flexibility for going out. I’m a procrastinator, but I’ve learned to break that habit because it only hurts you in the end. Get a planner and write EVERYTHING down. I find that making checklists and crossing each thing off physically helps me to be more productive.</p>

I think it’s insulting to say what you said, to everyone who does 10 hours a week while at the same time overloading courses and still say it’s nothing. After exceeding 10 or 15 hours per week, it’ll start to get tough though, but nobody denied that.</p>
<p>I’ve said 8 hours is “nothing” and others have said it, from experience. All you need is to get good at time management, and you’ll have plenty of free time. Like I said from the start of this thread (and biologynerd confirmed) just (as a general rule) get all your work done asap and you should be fine.</p>
<p>If you want to debate the literal term of “nothing”, then duh, 10 hours a week isn’t nothing. But even with an overloaded engineers course load, 10 hours of work, I honestly find myself with too much free time for my own good (so much excess time for video games, social stuff, etc.)</p>
<p>I guess it’s all relative though. If you’re some lazy kid used to working part-time (or less) and playing/hanging out the rest of the time, anything’s gonna seem tough in comparison (not saying anyone here is, just in general if you’re from a primarily leisure lifestyle, the transition to a working lifestyle will certainly be harsh).</p>
<p>I just have a few questions. If you can just say your name, major and maybe what college you attend that would be great.</p>
<p>What is your field of study?
Why does it matter?
What kinds of people gravitate towards careers in your field? What are their educational background?
What kind of writing is involved or required for that career?</p>
<p>It’s for a class, I need a couple of interviewees. Thanks!</p>
<p>You might want to consider posting this as a thread, rather than hijacking someone else’s, which is also on a totally different topic.</p>
<p>Also, this is college “confidential”, and not many people are going to give their full name and college name.</p>
