7 CARDINAL RULES OF COLLEGE STUDENT LIFE
I will make everything that contributes to my goal of getting a
DU degree a priority in my life.

I will keep everything that I will treat college life like a job
pertains to each of my classes in by structuring a College
one place. Workweek for myself.

I will learn to use a planner/calendar so that all the

information I need to run my life is in one place.

I will begin every day with a list and I will learn to plan forward and will
a plan because a day without a plan not wait until the last minute to
is usually unproductive. start large projects or study for tests.

I will learn to balance my life between work and play so that I

have time for both. I will also take care of myself both mentally
and physically.THE NEW YORK BUSINESS SOCIETY
