University Files: How to stay organised

I for one feel like I need to take my own advice here. I am currently in my final term of my degree and staying on top of all the deadlines, tutorials, lecturers, paying bills, seminars can be hard and that is just for university. But don't worry your little rockers because I am here to help you sort out your life one baby step at a time. *Takes your hand and leads you into the realm of adulthood. 

First things first. 

1. PAY YOUR GOD DAMN BILLS

To be very clear with you. Once you have finished your three years (or more or less), those bills do not magically disappear. Considering you will be paying off your student loan till you die. It's best to get it out the way. 

2. Get yourself a diary. 

At school I did not care for a diary, it was just something that you had to have on you so that you don't get in trouble with the teachers. But now my diary is always with me. (It's practically strapped to my hip). Otherwise you will become a headless chicken. 

3. Get a good night sleep. 

I know that this sounds really stupid, but your body needs time to rest and recuperate. If you are organised most of the time, you will not need to be sleeping till you see the sun come up. P.S Don't sleep on public transport (this is really a note to self).

4. Prepare your wardrobe.

It can be tiresome to even think about the next day and the sheer worry of how much you have to do. If you pick out what to wear the night before you will save you a lot of time. Trust me. I once spent 20 mins looking for a sock. 

5. Give yourself a break every once in a while.

Remember you are still human and not a robot. Don't sit in your room and be envious of all the first years walking into town. Sometimes third years need a break too! *Weeps in corner* Go out. Just don't make it a too regular thingGlass of wine anyone?! 

Stay strong it will all be worth it in the end
