A plea for advice!
Homework and classes, and for some it’s work and clubs too. Oh, and don’t forget a social life. The student athlete or those involved in theater productions, the student who’s involved in almost every club on campus, the student who has a job in addition to classes, the student who tutors or takes overload credits.
If that is you, when was the last time someone told you you’re amazing?
Well, that is exactly what I am doing!
This semester I am running for the Castleton Cross-Country team, taking 15 credits and am involved in Reel Action Club. Time is something I have little of. With classes, homework, meetings, practices, travel times to cross-country meets and the race itself, showering, eating, sleeping, and laundry . well there is little time for anything else.
Those of you out there who do this every semester, how do you do it?
Being a senior you would think I would have time management down to an art. I don’t. I am so busy it’s hard to find time to just breathe.
I am asking you, my fellow Castleton State College students, to help me. If there are any tips you can give me on how to manage it all, I am all ears. If you are feeling the same way I am, overwhelmed with it all, feeling like you bit off more than you can chew and you’re choking in it then I want to hear form you too. Tell me I am not alone!
Please write to me.

We made it, Mom
I remember distinctly the first time I was asked what I wanted to go to college for. My 6th grade science teacher posed it to our class (I guess start ‘em young, right?), and of course I had no idea. Probably for a lot of the same reasons as most of my young peers, but […]
Letter to the editor: CU, you let us down
I once was a student mentor for Castleton University. Whether it was doing tours for potential new students on accepted students’ day, or texting incoming students in the months leading up to their matriculation, I thoroughly enjoyed passing on my thoughts on why Castleton University was the right choice. I always told them the same […]
