Plan your weeks and even your days out, but also realize things may not go as planned so always have a plan b! Keep track of important due dates as well as test dates!

Go to the gym, do yoga, go for a walk just do something to stay healthy and relieve some stress! Also make sure to eat and sleep regularly!

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult.
