<p>So, I'm a freshman in college, and I have been for three weeks. My grades are awesome, I got good grades on all my tests and quizzes so far but i got caught up in english homework, and studying for the bio lecture quiz on wednesday. And on weekends and mondays, we have a 5 point lab quiz on blackboard for the bio lab, and i missed this one. I just feel so awful. Im so shaken and freaking out. I cant believe i procrastinated already. I feel like crap. I lost all my motivation from this. Because in high school, i procrastinated an told myself its okay until it became a bad habit. I told myself not to do it in college and now i feel like crap. I felt so good from doing good so far, and now i feel so low. Am I going to be terrible? I worked so hard to get into college, and came in with a positive outlook, and I cant believe i did this. Im crying on the inside honestly.</p>
<p>Don’t be so hard on yourself. I can guarantee you are not the only freshman who is adjusting to college and making the occasional mistake in planning your time effectively. It is only a 5 point quiz, so it is not the end of the world. Instead of giving up, learn to develop better time management. One of the hardest things about college is that you are totally on your own as far as budgeting your time- there is no one there to make you do it. Start sitting down once a week and making a calendar of all deadlines for the week as well as any on-going reading, etc. that you need to do. That way you can see what your workload will be and plan accordingly. If you lose your motivation over this one little thing, you will be in big trouble. Quit crying and go plan for this week!</p>
