Group projects suck. They could be such an easy task, but sometimes it is more complicated than it needs to be. Here are 5 ways to survive any group project.

1. Divide the work

The main issue with group projects is that usually one person is left doing all of the work and that person then becomes stressed and irritable.

2. Offer your assistance

If you notice someone getting stressed or someone doing all of the work, offer a helping hand. Do this to avoid someone rushing through the work to get it done and getting a bad grade.

3. Do the work AHEAD of time

Since most of the work is done separately, it is better to do it ahead of time so that the members of the group have time to ask for help on things that they were unsure of.

4. Don't be a slacker

Do not sit there and let others do all of the work. This is just wrong and even you know it.

5. Last but not least, do not stress.

Stressing only leads to rushing which equals a bad grade. Everyone in the group wants a good grade so everyone will help each other.

Good luck everyone!

Or at least try to do.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
