A full load is a full time job.
Break it up, spread it out, you'll be less frustrated.
Sample Weekly Schedule - How to Budget Your Time
Stay on top of your syllabi, know 
what you need to do for the rest of 
the week.
If you're behind, catch up AND add 
time for study to keep up.
Plan to do your long term projects 
long before they're due.  A little 
here & there is easier than all at 
once.
If you're prone to procrastination, 
you'll need to follow your schedule 
more closely.
Learn to use the task manager  & 
task timeline in MS Outlook (your 
student email) to help you keep up 
with your syllabi.  You can enter 
chapters, tests, papers, etc.  in the 
task manager.
STUDY MORE!!      Unless 
you are part of that 2.2% 
of the US population of 
"very superior 
intelligence," you should 
spend TWICE as many 
hours studying as you do 
in class.
Make sure you 
have gotten all 
your assignments 
done for this 
week.  This 
includes 
homework that 
you should have 
already done but 
didn't.  Anything 
you do not cover, 
you DO NOT 
KNOW.
Long term 
projects:  Novels, 
Term Papers, 
Library/Research 
Final Projects, etc.
Review older 
material to keep it 
fresh for your next 
test or pop-quiz.
It takes practice everyday, it is not like reading.
Even low to moderate alcohol consumption inhibits long-term memory formation.  Hint:  that means lower GPA's!

Stop the adrenaline within the next two hours, you'll need to sleep soon, most people need 6 to 8 hours…
Study if you need to, but remember that you reach a point of diminishing returns if you stay up too late.
All nighters may get your assignment done but they don't help you to LEARN anything!

You'll find some classes easier than 
others, adjust your study time 
accordingly to make sure you 
spend the right amount of time on 
each.
Your professors work hard on the 
syllabi for your classes.  They 
expect you to know them 
backwards and forwards.
BE SAFE, BE RESPONSIBLE.  You use 
your brain for class, don't forget it 
on the weekend.
Eat something healthy every day!
