The purpose of this study is to examine the internal and external self-management awareness and action plan for a balanced life of college students living in a rapidly changing era. This is related to students meaningfully filling the day by comparing themselves to yesterday's self, focusing on the development of their strengths and potentials without being swayed by anxiety and depression. In this study, the checklists and sheets submitted by the students of 'Balanced Life in Cognitive, Emotional and Behavioral', an intensive liberal arts course at K University in the second semester of 2021, were synthesized and organized. The collected data was reviewed several times during the data processing process and presented as a result through qualitative content analysis, and quantitative analysis. The research result was largely composed of the perception and action plan for self-management for a balanced life of college students. Through this, from the holistic point of view, the current address and major issues of development recognized by the students themselves, and the direction and action plan for growth were confirmed in detail. Based on this study, it will be possible to examine the issues and action plans according to the developmental tasks facing college students of the present age, and to seek educational implications.
