Throughout any week, students must balance their personal needs, work and
school into an appropriate schedule that fits them. When a student starts college, they
must make some adjustments to help them thrive through these new challenges. They
may have to change when they work, when they sleep, or even what classes they take.

It is important for students to create a college schedule so they can plan around
their classes. Since school is such a high priority, it should be the basis of a student's
life and be what is focused on the most in their minds. Creating a schedule is also
useful to help keep track of

There are many benefits for a student to create a class schedule when planning
for an upcoming semester or planning other events around school. Having a schedule
created also makes the student more organized and more likely to be on their classes
on time. It may help them remember what classes they have and help them achieve
what they need to do (arrive on time) to survive throughout the semester.

Since college is such an important aspect for every students life, changes
are bound to happen to help them benefit academically and hopefully in the future with
their educational advancements. To cope with change in their schedules in their week,
students must work less, hang out with friends less, or even sleep less to keep up with
their schoolwork. School is important to keep on top of and must be kept and eye over
to gain as much academic progression as possible. The sacrifices made to keep up with
school are worthwhile. The sacrifices are long rewarding, as they make your average
pay increase with achievement of your desired degree. Even though tough choices are
made throughout your academic years of your life, but there will always be a balance.
Students must balance their schedule with fun, enjoyable activities as well as school so
they can keep their morale high and positive. Maintaining schoolwork and your schedule
is a great life lesson to learn at a young age, as it can help reduce stress or even
impress future employers.
