Stayin’ Sane

College. It takes its toll on all of us.
Just the other day in Target I came across two roommates trying to figure out which dish soap to buy. “Are you sure this is the right one?” the first guy asked credulously, looking at the box.
The second guy answered in frustration, “Dude, it’s the only kind I know how to use!”
Those of us who have experienced the glory and the drudging of college life know that sanity can easily become lost just a few short weeks into a semester. As the homework piles up and the social life begins to fall down, keeping your priorities straight and your sanity on a leash is something we all struggle with. Personally, I do whatever it takes to remember that report that’s due tomorrow, to take that trip to city hall, and to feed those turtles or else they’ll be used for ashtrays. I use a planner and place stickers on all the super important dates. I wallpaper my room with sticky notes if I’m in a “remember this or die” situation. And I use a dry erase marker to write on my bedroom mirror of things that must be done right now.
So what do you do to stay organized?
I have a fancy organiser on my phone. It’s on my phone simply because it’s there all the time, it’s one of the things I use the most and if I put something on there it’d be really rare if I missed out on something/ forgot to do something. Apart from that I don’t really have any special tricks. Apart from the occasional post-it note..
