After three workshops on studying, writing papers, and managing mental health, the �Get With the Program� series on the New England campus came to a close last weekend, with a final a workshop titled, �Time Management, Building Good Habits, and Other Skills For a Life Well Lived.�

Presented jointly by Student Career Coordinator Emily (Barry �11) Sullivan and Assistant Dean Dr. Stephen Shivone, the workshop consisted of two parts. The first featured a presentation introducing students to the idea of �a plan of life� � a routine one imposes to nurture spiritual growth. Pedro da Silva (�25) spoke about how having a plan of life allowed him to reduce stress, make time for prayer, and live well. �I used to say, �I don�t have time,�� he told the attendees. �It wasn�t that I �徱��ԙt have time, it was that I was not using it well.� Mrs. Sullivan then spoke about how best to make and implement a plan of life, giving practical advice about scheduling and building solid habits.

Following a break for a much-enjoyed Chipotle lunch, students congregated upstairs in the Bl. Frassati Student Center for the second part of the workshop, a bullet journaling tutorial. After learning the basics of this hybrid journal/calendar system, attendees unleashed their creativity as they filled in their journals and embellished them. �This is so nice,� said Luisa Gemaque (�28). �It�s relaxing but also productive!�

Many students stayed well into the mid-afternoon, chatting and journaling. �These workshops have been a huge success,� said Mrs. Sullivan. �With our newly expanded freshman class, I�m glad we�re able to help students thrive at TAC.�
