Conquer the Semester!


01/14/2015

Welcome back from your relaxing break! I hope you had time to focus on you rather than school and had time to rejuvenate. 2015 is going to be a great year! Here are some tips to start the semester off right:

1. Print off each syllabus for every class. Make note of due dates. Write them down or put them in your phone calender.

2. Be organized! Whether this means buying a new 2015 agenda to write all of your activities in, i.e. class schedule, work schedule, club meetings, etc. or living by the calender on your phone. This is also a great place to write the due dates for all of your assignments. Also it is helpful to have folders/ binders to each individual class.

3. Get to know your professors. Professors want to help you learn and are quite insightful in their area of study.

4. Make time for yourself at least once a week! But you are saying you are too busy to cut out an hour a week to take time for yourself. DO IT! I understand that you are busy but you also deserve time to relax. This could mean stretching out on the couch to watch an episode of your favorite television show (mine in currently White Collar), take a class at the gym (yoga is my favorite) or take an hour over the week to exercise. Whatever it is find a way to reward yourself after a long and busy week.

Good luck this semester! There is nothing you cannot accomplish!!!
