 When I became a college student, the most difficult thing to me was time management. As a VPA student, I have lots of studio classes, so time management is one of the most crucial things to me. Last semester, I didn't know how to manage time, so I wasted time, summited homework the night before, and even submitted incomplete assignments. I realized that time management is pretty important, so I tried to talk with my academic advisor and friends. They gave me some advices, however, no one told me about how to use time wisely. 
 This semester, I decided to take CLS 105 class. Although this class is not related to my major, I believed that this class will be helpful to improve my time management skill. As I expected, this class taught many effective ways to manage time, such as 10minutes skill and D's and due organizer.  
 In the first class, we did some tests which informed the type of learner. U was an idealist and kinesthetic learner. It represents that I can learn something with active and effective ways. Through discussion group, team meeting, note taking, and making a presentation, I can learn effectively. 
 Especially, D's and due organizer helped me greatly. I wrote time due dates and do dates. I also wrote the starting time and expected end time. It reduced wasted time. Through weekly and monthly calender, I could see what I have to do in this week and month. It helped me to organize and use time wisely. 
 As a result, I could finish my assignments on time and reduce lots of useless time, such as chatting with friends. I keep writing D's and due organizer and recommend to friends. I think this is the most effective way to manage time.
