Zach's and Google Calendars

Let’s talk a little more about me. I love music, I love to cycle, I work for a company called Rowmark where we make large plastic sheets and customizable signage. I have been an intern here for the past year being exactly 381 days. Currently, I work half days working in total about 24 hours a week then working on academic work throughout the evening. This can create a stressful time and environment. A huge strategy that I have used in the past year has been going to the counseling center here at Ohio Northern (ONU) to just talk to someone about how I am feeling and receive any new tips on what I can do to continue succeeding throughout my academic career. Some tips that my counselor has shared with me is to spend time without electronics, just to have a moment to breathe. I usually try to do this between work and before evening work begins. Another item that I have been using is Google calendars to help me stay on top of homework assignments. With this application, I am able to create custom calendars for each aspect of my life and can plan out what needs to be done within the next week and how much I will need to prepare for a certain week. Technology is creating a simpler way for me to stay organized and to keep myself engaged/focused by allowing me to delete items from my calendar when a task is completed. This will assist me in creating a successful academic year and through my Master’s program in the Masters Studies of Accounting here at Ohio Northern.
