Some nights, you\u2019re gonna sit down in front of your computer and know that there is absolutely no way you\u2019re going to get everything done. That\u2019s just how it goes. So it comes down to being able to make a responsible decision on the things that are more important on that particular night.<\/p>\n<p>The fact of the matter is, before you do literally anything, it\u2019s crucial that you ask yourself if what you\u2019re doing is important to your progression as a student.

Many of your professors and peers will encourage you to get out and get active with your passions and endeavors. And sometimes classes and your extra\u00adcurriculars may work well together, such as when you need somebody to write a profile about or a subject for a short film.<\/p>\n<p>COM, in short, is a melting pot of passion and education. And the priorities that come along with it usually fall right into place.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alright, guys, here\u2019s the thing.
