Time Strategies

-
Last semester, I took a class where all of our homework was online. The homework was based off of readings and we had the ability to work ahead and finish all 15 assignments whenever we wanted. I decided to finish all of them in the first week of school and that was a major time-save during the semester. While the assignments weren't hard, they were time-consuming. Last semester was very hectic for me so the fact that I worked ahead had saved me multiple times. I plan on being at least a week ahead in my assignments for this class too.

The two articles that I read were "How to Beat Procrastination" by Caroline Webb and "The Important Habit of Just Starting" by Jory Mackay. Both of the articles were pretty similar but they were helpful. One new thing that I learned in "How to Beat Procrastination" was thinking about the pros and cons associated with not starting a task. Most of the time, I think weigh the costs and benefits with starting a task but I have never thought about it in that way.

Time management is something that I struggle with but I plan on setting aside time during the weekend to get ahead in this class. For that reason, my current schedule of 2 hours on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday will work just fine. As for the rest of my schedule, I am taking a fairly easier schedule compared to my previous semesters because of the MCAT so my biggest time challenges would just be common distractions like my phone.

Hello! My name is Anthony Hui and I am a Junior Biomedical Engineering, Pre-Med major from Edmond, Oklahoma. My hobbies include running and watching basketball but if there is one thing you should know about me, it's that I am a HUGE Oklahoma City Thunder fan. To illustrate how big of a fan I am, the only times I have cried in the past 5 years or so was when the Thunder blew a 3-1 lead against the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference Finals, when Russell Westbrook got traded away from the Thunder, and the tribute video the Thunder made for Russ on his first game in OKC as an opponent. Some little fun facts about me: I play the piano and viola, I can never get tired of eating pasta, and I have a little pomeranian named Mowgli (I say little but he's like nine years old). My music taste is kind of all over the place but I'd say I enjoy listening to rap the most. I don't really have any favorite food but I predominately only eat rice, chicken, and broccoli when I

"They say that when you are dying, your life flashes before your eyes. When I look back, I can't help but laugh. Why does fate hate me so?" Karna's wheel gets stuck Source "Me and you, Arjuna, have the same royal blood flowing through our veins yet because of the caste system I was raised in, I was seen as your inferior. When exactly did the thought of wanting to be your equal consume me?" "If I had to pick, I would say it started with Drona. I don't know if you remember, but I approached Drona to tutor me in warfare as well. He refused me though, all because I was from a lower caste. And then you came along. You were always his favorite. Even though our skills were equal, I was ignored while you were celebrated. That was probably my first realization at how cruel this system was. This point was further driven into me during the swayamwara." "Before I was even able to show off my skills, I was refused simply because of my soci
