Time.

Like most college students, I lack two things: time and sleep.

It always seems like there are never enough hours in the day or days in a week for that matter. We get assigned all this homework, and we have tests to study for, projects need to be done, and you'll get things done that are due the following day. You want to take a break, but then you think ahead and realize how much more work you still have left to do. We did sign up for this, so why do we complain so much? Simple. We like to complain. How many of you have talked to people and listed what you had to do and then the person you're talking to, does the same? Then you try to outdo what they have to do and vice versa. 
Anyways, time. There is enough of it. The thing is, we are a generation of procrastination (I could be doing my Spanish homework right now, but I chose to blog). If we actually time managed and scheduled out what we had to do, would it be easier? Would we have more actual down time and not be kept up at night either doing work or thinking about everything we have to do?

I challenge whoever is reading this to actually try planning it out. See how much time you actually have. Don't procrastinate. That is definitely one of the most challenging things to do, especially when homework is online. 

That leads to sleep. 
How often do you hear someone say "I slept wonderfully last night, I got like ten hours of sleep"? I have not heard that once during the school week. Normally it sounds more like this "I didn't fall asleep until like two this morning and had to get up at like 7:30, ugh I'm so tired." 

Here's another challenge: go to sleep an hour earlier. Get everything you need ready for the morning, ready. That means pack your schoolbag, pick out your outfit, have an idea of what you're going to eat for breakfast, and don't forget your alarm. 
I know, work and meetings can make you stay up late, but if you try really hard, you can probably go to bed by midnight. If you're getting up at 7:30, that's almost a full eight hours. 
Unless you're like me, and a lot of you probably are..
I don't fall asleep in ten minutes like some people. I'll be laying in bed for a good hour to four hours before I actually fall asleep. Lately, it's been closer to the hour luckily. Try going to bed at the same time every night. It actually does help. Turn everything off and attempt to not think over every little thing that occurred throughout your life and what could happen in the future. Think of something happy and calming. 

Also, a side note. Much to most people's disbelief, we do actually have work as film majors. Ours is just generally more fun, but we chose this major just like you chose yours. You should love it if that's what you're planning on doing for the rest of your life.  (also, we still have other courses).

On that note, I should probably get back to my Spanish homework.
