Hi Sweety.Your personal life and university are 2 different areas of your life. If you want to master these, effective time management is crucial. Keep a diary[ book or electronic form] with times to schedule your uni tasks & personal life [ eg Friday 5pm borrow library books or shop for groceries] and leisure activities. Some students use a laptop/notebook to study whilst going home on a bus or train. Double check your uni assignment due dates on a wall calendar in case you leave your diary at uni.Some people keep a small pocket diary in their bags. Good luck.

Hi Sweety, I'll suggest what I did: map out your time. Study, sleep, work, play... treat each with their own importance. For example, don't give up 2 hours' sleep to study - your brain won't work. Make a practical estimate of what you can manage, then revise it later if you see fit. "Free time" does not equal "leftover time". This is really important. Enjoy your time seeing friends, watching TV/movies, reading, listening to music or just lying around, but once your time is up and it's time to study, do exactly that. If your study leaves you only a little time to relax, make a definite decision on where and when that little time will be. Study hard... then play hard (and then, sleep hard!). :P
