RANA ELMAKADEM will graduate with an associate degree from Camden
County College as the student commencement speaker (valedictorian) this May
and is the New Jersey State president of Phi Theta Kappa International Honor
Society. Her advice:
I recommend a large 'month view' calendar. I use both paper and electronic
versions (on my phone and laptop), and I enter all assignment due dates from
my syllabi at the beginning of the semester. But I enter them as due three to
four days before the actual due date. I also recommend entering your work
schedule and any other obligations to help you visualize everything you need
to do and when you can allocate your time.
Setting incremental reminders of upcoming due dates and when different parts
of your project or assignment should be done helps to keep you on track and
minimize procrastinating.
When studying, depending on the subject, I break up my time with one 15-to-
30-minute break for every 90 minutes to two hours of studying. During my
breaks, I leave my study area and walk around, grab a snack and usually just
check social media for five minutes. Doing something fun that takes your mind
off studying helps you stay refreshed and refocus when your break is over.
I have a Post-it Note app on my laptop where I put deadlines or my to-do list. I
like it because I'm on my laptop a lot, and I have this constant reminder of
what I need to get done. It always feels good when I delete the notes that I
completed and declutter my screen.
We're all stuck to our phones 24/7, so visit your app store and try out different
time-management and study/homework apps to see which works best for you. I
stuck with MyHomework app for some time, but found that placing everything


on a large visual calendar worked best for me.
Regarding friends: If you know you have to get something done, then get it
done. Saying 'no' to your friends is actually very simple in practice. Just say,
'No, I have an assignment to get done.' But do set aside some time to hang out
with your friends and do something fun or relaxing. It could be as simple as
having lunch or going to the movies. You still need a work/play balance in
your life. It doesn't have to be frequent, but making plans gives you something
fun to look forward to and keeps everyone focused at the tasks at hand.
