Time-Management
All college Freshman need to learn
time-management if they are going to be successful students.
Many Freshman usually have the whole year to gradually develop
this year. However, Karen was faced with a time-management issue
within the first couple weeks of class. Karen's R.A. had called
a mandatory house meeting the same night as her favorite band
of all time was playing at the Crowbar. The times slightly overlapped
with the concert starting at 8:00pm and lasting all night, and
the mandatory house meeting starting at 9:00pm and lasting until
11:00pm. Karen began to weigh the pros and cons of the situation
to help her make a decision. This is the only time that her
all-time favorite band would be playing in the area this year.
However, the R.A. warned that everyone was required to attend
the mandatory meeting, or else suffer the consequences. Students
would only be excused for an exam or a class.
Karen e-mailed the RA and requested
permission to miss the meeting due to another fictitious mandatory
meeting and was granted permission. Should Karen go to the concert
using the fictitious meeting as an alias?
