So much to do, so little time. Any college student will experience this struggle more than once during their four years. With class assignments, work shifts and downtime to fit in, there simply aren’t enough hours in the day to leisurely work your way through each task. This is why most of us become experts at a little thing called multitasking. If you recognize any of these 15 signs, you can officially be crowned a master multitasker.
1. You can answer emails, take phone calls and study for your next exam all during your workout

Hands-free is key, people.
