This week we discussed two main topics. Monday we were introduced to the requirements for the Honor's program. This class was very informational, and it taught me that Freshmen are required to log over 25 hours of community service throughout the year. I had previously thought we could do different things that would count towards our service requirement. However, it was good to learn because 25 hours of service isn't really as much as it seems, and when I get involved that time will fly by. They mentioned several examples of organizations that we can volunteer in, but one that I really enjoy working at is the local soup kitchen. I am from this area and it has always been a blessing to be able to see how you can make a difference in someone's life! On Wednesday, we focused on time management. This showed us just how important it can be to plan our time and activities according to what is most important. For me this means that I will prioritize school, work and Bible studies over some of the other clubs and interests I have because these are the most important three to me right now. One of the activities that made me focus on what is most important to me was the money activity. If you had $86,400 to spend in a day, how would you spend it? I eventually realized this was the amount of seconds in a day, and it made me think how do I want to spend my time? It was a very good activity because it caused me to reflect over what I am prioritizing. Taylor made the comment on how we need to remember to eat. While I will never forget to eat, there are other things that I need more of to be healthier such as sleep and exercise. Georgia Southern's time management website was also beneficial for deciding what to spend my time on. They talked about three things to take into consideration when choosing what to do. They were goals, plans, and action. What are my goals in college? It showed me to reflect on what I want to get out of my time here on campus. Next, it showed that I need to plan to participate in activities, clubs, and events that will bring me closer to meeting my goals. Lastly, it showed me that I am in charge of myself and my choices so I need to go for my goals and put my plans to action. Overall, this weeks lesson on time management was very helpful to how I look at my time!

That's so true that 25 hours really will fly by, and also it is so great to get involved locally and be able to reach people outside of campus!!
