Never stops..
Heey Everyone!! In this post i am taking the time to explain to you and possibly help you with how to stay organized in the hectic first few weeks of college! Hope it helps you all!
So lately I have been running and running trying to get stuff done and organized for school. I feel like every time I think I'm done , 5 more things pop up. The one thing that i feel is the biggest pain and the one that makes everything go by so slow is ...Financial aid. With my OSAP it seems like forever until it will show up in my bank account ! I cannot wait until it comes in and i can start paying my bills and tuition. The one way i organize my osap is;
So lately I have been running and running trying to get stuff done and organized for school. I feel like every time I think I'm done , 5 more things pop up. The one thing that i feel is the biggest pain and the one that makes everything go by so slow is ...Financial aid. With my OSAP it seems like forever until it will show up in my bank account ! I cannot wait until it comes in and i can start paying my bills and tuition. The one way i organize my osap is;
- I check my osap application every day to see if there is any required changes or missing requirements / documents
- If so I put a reminder in my phone or i complete the task right away
- I than set a reminder when my alarm goes off so i know to bring the information with me and send it on its way
Another trouble I have been having is Daycare and subsidy.
Since moving back to my dads messed around with a lot of my documents and stuff so i am missing information. With service Ontario it seems impossible to get any documents right away so this will definitely put a damper on my bank account and i will have to wait until next month to receive subsidy. This wouldn't be so hard if my osap would come in :/ The ways I have tried to stay organized with daycare is;
- Make sure i made my appointment to review everything (forms and papers) i needed to complete
- Completed everything that night so i was able to bring the paper in the next day with the payment to make sure Sophias spot is saved
- Made a reminder in my phone to bring diapers and a can of formula into the day care to keep there so i didn't have to worry about packing a giant can and big bag every day !
Now Sophia is all set and ready to go to day care on Monday !
Classes and Assignments are hard to handle even on the first day back! It hard to remember how to use all the different software and being able to remember due dates and test dates. I know that i will have to do some serious organizing this year to keep myself on track. I received my student planner on orientation day and i am so thankful because now i am able to right everything down even including my timetable. I write down all important appointments (doctors, dentist, specialists) , I write down what days Sophia goes to Day care, days assignments are due, what days i will be writing tests and most importantly what times my classes are so I am never Late!!
I am very excited about being back to school but the stress of everything is already setting in. I have started morning yoga and I will attempt to do it every morning and every night. This way i will be relaxed before bed and before school and be able to handle the stress that much better ! I will be updating my blog when i get a successful yoga routine (workout) down pat and I will share my routine with you !
This is it for tonight everyone im going to do my yoga and head to bed ! 8 am class tomorrow
