[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of my kids' time is taken up by her really tough Core classes, namely Tik Tok, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter and YouTube.

Leaves very little time for eating, sleeping, showering etc. Her college life is really stressful right now but she chose to go to an elite school, so what can we say? It's a learning and growing experience.[/quote]
  
haha are you me?

I can't say mine managed her time well this past freshman year, and her GPA suffered as a result.  Praying when she goes back, she will have a better handle on it, mostly because she changed from pre-med and is finally taking classes she enjoys and is interested in. That makes a huge difference. She is also in an apartment now and not sharing a tiny dorm room with someone who slept all day and got angry when the lights were turned on at 2PM, and who was also always sick and making DD sick.

I like the advice PP gave about not going back between classes, that's what I've tried to tell my kids, to varied success. My DD didn't find herself in the library until the first day of studying for final exams this past May - because a friend dragged her.

My DS did manage his time well. He never procrastinated his work, everything was done well in advance of being due and he maintained a 4.0 all freshman year. Good stuff habits that apparently his sister did not inherit.[/quote]
