Getting Your Priorities Straight

Getting Your Priorities Straight As I sit here writing my first blog of the semester (yes, I know, its really late), I cant help but wonder where my priorities have gone. And I have been here beforeâ€"this is not my first rodeo. In college, life gets busy very quickly and sometimes we need to sit back for a moment and take one step at a time. My issue is that I prioritize things like my fraternity and my friends over my schoolwork, which should always be the number one priority. Even though life gets in the way sometimes, there is never any reason to panic. The cool thing about college is that everyone is in the same boat. We are all trying to figure it out no matter what year in school we are. Coming to school and doing more than one thing is actually very good. You want to be diverse and try new things, you just have to remember what is really important. So do not worry if you come to college and have no idea what to do first. My advice is to take it one step at a time. You have four years here, so make sure you have plenty of experiences to fill them with. Questions? Comment below, and I will be sure to get back to you!
