The first article that caught my eye was The Psychology of Checklists by Lauren Marchese because I love psychology. I decided to pick that one to learn more about the psychology side of time management. This article was very helpful because I didn't realize dopamine was released when you complete a small task. I now know that I should be setting smaller goals to achieve instead of big ones that I know I will dread. 

The second article I chose was 3 Steps to Recapture Time by Joynicole Martinez. This article was also helpful because Martinez introduced the idea of using the 1st 15 minutes of each day to plan out your tasks. I usually don't plan out my tasks before the end of each day and I get really lazy at that point. I will start using her idea as of now! She also mentioned the use of saying no and I have a really hard time saying no to people at times because I don't want to seem like I'm not fun or down to hang with people. I'm going to try to practice saying no more often because at this point in college, I . need to start prioritizing school over everything. 

Last semester, I had a difficulties with time management because I was going through a new member process in my sorority and taking 12 hours of science classes. I should have used my time wisely but I chose not to and it caused my GPA to drop. I was very upset with myself, so set a long-term goal for this semester, which is to get a 4.0 GPA. I do not want to make the same mistakes again and fail terribly at managing my time.

Hello everyone, my name is Tracy! My major is chemical bioscience with a minor in psychology and concentration in pre-PA. I know... it sounds tough and people are always shocked when I tell them, but it is honestly not that bad! Yes... there are times where I am drowning in the schoolwork, but overall, I like the classes I have to take for this major. Well, except Human Anatomy. That class has got to be the hardest class on campus. I believe it is harder than organic chemistry! Don't believe it? Take it and see for yourself. Just kidding, don't suffer like I did. Personal picture of this view in Baltimore; photo from May 2019. School is in session again and I am glad to be back, but at the same time, I am not. I'm missing summer a little extra this year because I had so much free time to travel and see people I couldn't see during the school year. This summer, I traveled to Baltimore for a convention with my sorority, took numerous trips to different parts of Tex...

Dooms Day. Source: Pixabay In the year 2009, the movie 2012 was released, which brought on skepticism due to the story it told. People debated on whether they should go see it or not because the storyline did not seem believable in any way. Eventually, one person decided to see what it is all about and watched the movie. In this moment, she fell right into the movies trap. After watching 2012, she panicked and feared for the worlds future. She had no idea what to do but to tell all of her friends about the movie and how she learned that the world is going to end on December 21, 2012. Her friends felt like she was making this up; however, they still gave her the benefit of the doubt. They watched the movie one after another and fell right into the same trap she did. Again, her friends panicked and told their own friends about how the world is going to end in 2012. Again, their friends did not believe them but they decided to watch the movie to see what it is all about. Words kept ...
