I rarely used planners in high school, but for college they became a necessity for me!

While filling out my planner for the week, I realized how many things I had to keep track of every week. For example, on Mondays:

-9:00 am ~ Class. Luckily, this class is located in a building only 5 minutes away from my dorm, so I don’t have to get up too early!

-11:00 am-2:00 pm ~ Class. I have 10 minutes between this solid 3-class block, so I usually get something small and portable to eat between Music Theory and English.

-5:00 pm ~ Studio class. Students taking voice lessons from the same teacher meet up once a week as a whole class. We sing our songs for each other and receive advice on how to improve. This might sound scary, but it’s actually a very relaxed class.

-6:00 pm ~ Work. I work in the Admissions Office in College Hall for 3 hours, and part of my job is posting blogs for you guys to read. I’m an English major, so writing these is one of the most enjoyable aspects of working here.

-9:00 pm ~ La Raza Meeting. These meetings are one of the highlights of my week. They’re a great way to see friends I may not see all the time, and we always seem to be laughing about something.

Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays are more relaxed for me, Wednesdays are my busiest, and on Saturdays I have dance practice for 3 hours! However, the key is to find things to do that you actually enjoy. Then, it’ll feel more like play than work, and time will go by a lot faster!

Planners are lifesavers, and so is music, so I’ll show y’all one of the many songs I play after a long day. Enjoy, and until next time!
