With the second semester being in full swing, the regular routine of classes and studying has begun.
That means several things; you have finally gotten your routine down for the next few months, you have already decided which class you aren’t going to attend every week and some stress might be returning.
It’s hard to believe that this school year is almost three-fourths of the way finished. Spring break will soon be upon us, and a week of relaxing and not worrying about school couldn’t come soon enough.
This lethargic school year can and will be conquered.
Now is the time where we students have to stay on top of our game. Sometimes slacking off just a little bit is what will make or break you.
Do little things every day that will help you stay on top of your game. There are definitely times when it’s okay to say no.
If you have a big test on a Friday at 8:30 but get an invite to tag along in a Thirsty Thursday adventure, it’s up to you to decide what’s important.
Next week is always a possibility. Trust me, I know the fear of missing out is something we all have, but there are always going to be sacrifices.
Remember to finish the assignments you’re given. Deadlines always seem far away during syllabus week, but they approach quicker than you may think.
Procrastinators always say they do their best work while under pressure, but some people aren’t like that. If you need to, do a little bit of work ahead of time.
Making a major assignment into several minor ones reduces the shock value of a project that’s worth half your grade.
College can’t be all work and no play. Taking time to relax is one of the best things about getting something accomplished. Take time to yourself or get yourself a little something special for staying on top of your school work. Receiving a good grade doesn’t have to be the only reward you get.
Whatever you do, just remember that it’s too late to give up. What works for one person may not work for you. Find your groove and go with it.
Friendly reminder, there are only seven weeks left of the school year. If that doesn’t motivate you to push through your classes, spring break is only three weeks away.
The end is too close and throwing in the towel isn’t an option.
