Time Management/Budgetin

Choose a table leader!Let’s Begin!!!!

According to a study in the College Student Journal Stress among college students can be attributed to both Intrapersonal and interpersonal situations as well as academic and environmental issues

Students in the study indicated that academic issues of increased workload and lower performance then expected were the biggest contributors to student stress.

One way to accomplish all of your requirements, lessen stress, and increase your success is to use time management/budgeting strategies.
