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.

Introduction: A Little About Me aka AMORE

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

Week 14 Story: The Golden Necklace

Gold Necklace. Source:  PxHere . Once upon a time, there were two girls, Linda and Louise, who were the best of friends. They grew up in the same streets, went to the same school, and did literally everything together until Linda moved away for college one day. Before Linda moved away, she gave Louise a golden necklace as a token of their friendship and told her to keep it safe until she come backs the next summer. Louise promised to take great care of the necklace. She kept necklace safe by wearing it around her neck; however, one day, the necklace broke and fell off her neck without her noticing it. Louise did not notice this until a few days later, but when she did, she did not bother to tell her best friend, Linda. The next summer rolls around... Linda knocked on Louise's door and said, "Bestie, I am back for the summer!" Louise came running to the door as soon as she heard Linda's voice.  "I am coming, Linda! I will be right there,"
