Priorities!

I know that I'm not a young adult going to college here, but there are a few things that I have noticed from my peers in class.

Group work- Do it! There are other students in class that are relying on you to do your part.

Class work- Your Professors are giving you the opportunity to get a good grade, if you are making the effort, they are going to work with you. There will be assignments where you will be told, "If you do not do this, you will not pass the class!" Guess what? There is probably a reason for this. If you do not complete that assignment, there are few things the professor can do for you.

Extra Credit- If it is offered, do that too! 

Time management- There are 168 hours in a week. Even if they sleep 8 hours a night and have a full time job, that leaves 10 hours a day for other pursuits! With classes taking about 16 hours a week, that would leave them with 8 hours a day. They can still work on homework, practice an instrument, play video games, watch movies, hang out with friends... whatever!

Respect and Motivation- Now in college, students are paying for school. If not them, then someone is paying for it. They should have respect for that investment, if not, why are they there? Other students in the class want to be there, don't disrupt the class. Texts and social media posts can wait an hour or three while in class. There may be a whole 5 minutes of catching up to do after, think of the fun!


P.S. The Professors are always right!
