How to Survive As a
Nontraditional Student

(c) Home Time Management 2013 | Mary Segers http://marysegers.com
More and more people are taking on the role of
nontraditional student than ever before.
Along with that role, however, comes all the
challenges of being a nontraditional student.

(c) Home Time Management 2013 | Mary Segers http://marysegers.com
You can circumvent many of those challenges by
taking a proactive stance to the typical problems
of nontraditional students and since I've been
there, done that, and earned those degrees, I
thought I'd share some of the things that worked
for me.

(c) Home Time Management 2013 | Mary Segers http://marysegers.com
Plan Ahead



Planning ahead is a major key to surviving as a
nontraditional student.
Without learning to properly plan you are toast.
Hang it up, don't waste your time, energy, and
money.
(c) Home Time Management 2013 | Mary Segers http://marysegers.com
Planning will be needed in order to find time for your required
reading, have time for your family, or be able to feed them something
other than take-out.
You'll need to plan to study for exams, set aside time to write
papers, and commit time to work on projects.
Without planning you won't get the house cleaned, the laundry done in
a timely manner, or the grocery shopping done other than at night when
all the shelves are empty from the day shoppers.
Yes, planning ahead is important in life but, for the nontraditional
student, it's the difference between success in college and flunking out.
(c) Home Time Management 2013 | Mary Segers http://marysegers.com
Figure Out What's Really Important



Naturally, if you're going to take a life that was already crammed with
responsibilities and add in the major one of being a student, then you're
going to have to let some stuff... actually, a lot of stuff... go by the wayside.
Don't worry, you'll get better at it as you make your way through the
semesters to your degree.
When you identify something as important… truly important… you'll make
sure it gets done.
(c) Home Time Management 2013 | Mary Segers http://marysegers.com
Ask For Help with Those Things Which
Need To Be Done



You can... and should... not only ask, but expect, help from your
spouse and children.
They will, after all, benefit from your education.
They can, for example, help with their own laundry, the everyday
chores, and cooking.

(c) Home Time Management 2013 | Mary Segers http://marysegers.com
Figure Out What Can Slide

 what's NOT important.
It's just as important to figure out
There are probably a whole lot of things that you'll now
realize... well, they just aren't worth worrying about.
You'll figure this out real quick in your first semester and
then refine and add to the list as each semester passes.
(c) Home Time Management 2013 | Mary Segers http://marysegers.com
Resolve to Do Whatever It Takes



And I do mean whatever... it takes for the
few years you're pursuing your higher
education.

(c) Home Time Management 2013 | Mary Segers http://marysegers.com
I put in more all-nighters than I could count.

I saw so many sun rises while sitting in a Waffle House or
some other all-night joint.
Many times I'd watch the sun rise while working in my
dining room using my laptop on the table for writing a
research paper while using my desktop computer for
finding relevant research papers and printing them out and
having a swivel chair so I could easily access both
computers simply by turning around.
(c) Home Time Management 2013 | Mary Segers http://marysegers.com
Recap



Your survival as a nontraditional student will depend on your being able to:
*****Plan Ahead
*****Figure Out What's Really Important
*****Ask For Help with Those Things Which Need To Be Done
*****Figure Out What Can Slide
*****Resolve to Do Whatever It Takes
If you'll follow this advice then I'm sure what worked for me will work for you.
