The freedom that comes with college can be thrilling, but it also requires a lot of responsibility. No one will be reminding you to get up for class or finish that paper, and your success will depend on your ability to plan and manage your time effectively.
The good news is that you can start practicing these skills right now. Instead of waiting for college to teach you time management, use your senior year as a training ground. Wake up with your own alarm, manage your assignments without constant reminders from teachers or parents, and keep track of your schedule
