College expectations and the reality of a human's limitations- education is probably the best option. Right?
The hardest part of my day? Figuring out how hurriedly I have to walk from place to place.
As a person who hates to be late and hates to miss out I think the hardest thing in college for me is to manage my time. I have a planner, reminders on an app in my iphone, and I have sticky notes all over my bedroom.
So much to see, and so much to do, and I can't be late or miss any of it! The real issue on college campuses nowadays isn't sleep deprivation. There is a national epidemic of busy-bodyitis!
Realistically, there are only so many hours in the day. With the norm being balancing a job, school, family relationships, a social calendar, and your health and wellness, there are often too many things to do in one 24 hour period.
All-nighters and bags under your eyes are a badge of honor among young people. I can speak as one myself! Maybe instead of repeating the same mantra: "Go to sleep early" or "Wow, you need to get some more sleep" maybe the issue should be addressed directly.
I propose teaching prioritizing and time management skills as a part of school curriculum. Having been apart of the public school system for much of my life, in many cities and many states I'm telling you right now: WE DIDN'T LEARN HOW TO DO THIS.
Maybe somewhere there is a push to teach these important skills in schools. As a 18 year old girl, having just graduated from the public school system, I'm telling you I went preschool through my senior year in high school never having learned these things.
Eh, What do you think? Comment below!

| Should American public schools be responsible for teaching the life skills required to succeed in College? |
