Setting Important Dates

In college you are always going to need a planner. Some students may think that planners are just for professionals or for higher companies to use them. Planners are for everyone! Planners can help you stay organize with your classes and with events that are happening in your life. Writing out your day gives you a way to focus on what matters the most in a time set. I personally believe that all college students should have some type of planner or organizer. College life can get hectic and often times we don’t even get a chance to look at our phone to set an alarm for the next event that is supposed to happen.

When I am writing in my planner for the week, I try to plant it all out in the most effective way possible. I also tend to be very colorful, stylish, and full sticky notes. Bold and vibrant writing set a visual look to the eyes. It also helps to highlight the important things that are heading your way. Inside of my planner I tend to put a scripture at the top of the planner to keep me motivated throughout the crazy week.   Having color inside of your planner makes you want to read everything you have for the day of the week. You can actually become more productive by having color to your planner. Using a planner to write out to-do list or even a goal list is what you need to accomplish your college semester.


Using a planner can really help you stay organize with your life for the better. The more you use it, the more you will see a change in your life by having one. Organization is the best way to go!

The semester is just about over!

The semester is finally coming to a close. Classes end next week with final exams, so instructors and students are trying to rush through their last parts of the course and beginning to think about those annoying final exams. When I am not in the class, there appears to be no sign of anything slowing down or even stopping when it comes to finishing homework or even studying. I’ve got so many things to look forward to in the upcoming days: finishing all of my online ENGL 3043 assignments, Dr. Warsame’s early childhood portfolio, and preparing myself to give birth to my son on May 21, 2016!

Weekends for me are full of fun and have a lot of extra activities too! I try so hard to find just about two hour just to get a little homework done so I don’t feel so behind when Monday finally arrives. For example, this weekend I was preparing for my baby shower that was on Saturday. It was a fun way to share a part of my new beginnings coming forth. I am so excited to become a mother. There are so much fun in one weekend.

With the semester coming to an end, I’m getting nerves just thinking about how this is my last couple of days being by myself without having a baby around. All and all, I have been finishing this semester out strong with the grades I have earned thus far.
