Whether you're a Freshman or a Senior, this list is sure to be a lifesaver at some point during the oh-so-stressful school year.
Monday:
Congratulations, you signed up for an 8 am class on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays. Your weekend definitely wasn't full of rest and you are less than ready to tackle the week... what do you need? COFFEE. Now, I fully recognize that coffee is needed all of the days of the week but it is especially crucial on Monday mornings. No, no, my friend, don't you skip that early morning class one more time, get out of bed and start your morning off with a nice, hot, fully caffeinated cup of coffee.
Tuesday:
So, you got through Monday alright, thanks to that cup of coffee, but you find yourself zoning out and not focusing in your Biology of the Human Infant Mind class (definitely not a real thing.) We must ask ourselves the most important question again...what do you need? As petty and ridiculous as this sounds, you need a good pen. The more you like writing with said pen, the more notes you will take which directly correlates to your success in the class. No, no, my friend, don't you doodle in the margin of your paper, put that wonderful ink to good use and take some notes!
Wednesday:
It's the middle of the week and you have six papers, two exams, four appointments and three dates (because you're hot!) You're having trouble keeping up with your busy schedule and you're losing tract of time, what do you need? The answer is a calendar. Large or small, this handy dandy tool has been helping College of Charleston students keep track of their lives since 1770. No, no, my friend, don't you forget to write down your assignments! It helps to write down your assignments on your calendar as soon as you get your syllabus.
Thursday:
It's Thursday, you're a Freshman and you are tired of City Bistro and Liberty. You need to make a grocery store run but neither you nor your friends have a car. What do you need? A bike is what you need! A dependable bicycle is the best mode of transportation in this great city of ours. You don't have to pay for gas, it's quick and it's easy to park right outside of your dorm, apartment or house. No, no, my friend, don't you worry about biking on the roads! Just use your common sense and make sure to lock your bike up when you're done with it.
Friday:
You made it! One last day of classes, it's the home stretch! All you need is that extra kick to get yourself through the day and to the weekend! You're feeling burnt out and you have no motivation to pay attention in class. What do you need? Today, you need plans. Make a plan with some friends as to what to do after you're done with classes. These plans with motivate you and excite you to power through the last few classes of the day! No, no, my friend, don't you worry, there is always something to do in Charleston. That is one of the many wonderful things about the city you have chosen to
