Transitioning from High School to College #5

I have now turned in my first college essay and taken my first college exam. I have experienced my first extremely late night studying. I now feel like a real college student.
The workload is difficult and I now see the major differences between high school and college classes. First when I got to college, advisers told me that for every hour spent in class, students will need to study two-three hours outside of class to earn a solid grade. They weren't kidding. I feel like I spend a lot of my time studying and I haven't yet earned an A on any of my exams. Honestly though, I don't know how to fit more studying into my schedule. Twenty four hours in a day do not seem to cut it nowadays. With classes, athletic training, soccer, homework, some social time to keep sane, and trying to balance sleep in the mix; I don't know how to throw more studying in the mix without cutting something out. I already feel as if I am lacking sleep already, I don't know how much longer I can stay up into the wee hours of the morning working on school work.
That's another change from high school to college. Bedtime; there is none. Since there are no parents, there is no more set curfew. This new sense of freedom has consequences attached. I tend to stay up a lot later than I should and it's starting to cause a lack of sleep on my end. I tend to take more naps throughout the day to make up for the shortage of sleep at night. It is super convenient to have my "house" on campus. Allowing me the ability of taking a twenty minute power nap in between a couple classes. I find it funny how much I enjoy napping now. We start off our education journey in preschool, where naps were a constant reward. How ironic is it that at the highest level, naps are still a luxury that most students love and appreciate.
I can sense that college will be a challenge. Acclimatizing myself to my surroundings and finding a way to balance all my workload without becoming utterly overwhelmed. It will be an ongoing battle that I will have to work through.
