Huntsman student deals with packed schedule one day at a time Working a nine-to-five job after graduation may prove a welldeserved break for Huntsman students with packed schedules who are running on just a few hours of sleep.
Ms. starley. “i enjoy being surrounded by students who are dedicated to their futures and who know how to work hard to reach their goals. We are all in it together.”
Ms. starley isn’t the only one who understands what it’s like to multitask her way through college; 75 percent of Huntsman students work at least 10 hours each week while also attending school. on top of that, 86 percent provide volunteer service in various organizations in the community.
Ms. starley said she copes by concentrating and taking things one day at a time.
“Many students fill their schedules to the brim in hopes of getting involved and gaining experience that will set them apart from the crowd,” said
“i try to give myself a break by making really great weekend plans,” she said.
Megan starley, a senior majoring in marketing, with a chinese minor, carries an 18-credit load, works a 20-hour per week job and fills much of her “spare” time volunteering.
