Top Ten, Part 1

I have been completely negligent to my lovely blog lately, first because I am having a hard time not talking about my own life in it, which apparently I'm not allowed to do, and finding more inspiration for things to write. While on spring break I am having a lot of free time that makes me wonder why college students are over-stressed and never seem to have time for anything. I've been thinking and researching on different tips and advice for time and life management for specifically college students on how to better our well-beings, so for the next few days I've decided to expand on this slice of life  on how we can make our day go by easier by a list of 10 ten best things to do. 

9. Monitor what TV your watching:
I am just as bad as anyone with having a set TV schedule on what television shows play on what nights. Sometimes having a show at 9 p.m. to look forward too is proven effective as motivation to get all homework done before so there's time to relax. But what about wasting the commercial time?    Commercials are often talked about that media deeply influences human, and on average by the age of 65 an average person has seen 2 million commercials.  At 30 seconds a pop, that's around 2 years of your life spent watching commercials verses getting other things done. If college students know what time their favorite shows are on, and they pre-recorded it to fast forward commercials they would save about 20 minutes on an hour long show and 10 minutes on a half-hour show that they could use getting other things done and not pointlessly waiting. 

10. Take a Breath of Fresh Air- Most college students spend most of their time cooped up into a tiny dorm room, or in stuffy class rooms and only spend the time coming and going from class, dinner, etc outside. Now that it's getting warmer there's no excuse for not being able to go outside for an extra few minutes each day to cleanse their minds. A few minutes to relax and feel a breeze could be a lot more effective than a 15 minute nap-and it'll wake you up too!
