As spring semester starts, it can be overwhelming to start classes back up after a long break of minimal work. It's important to plan the beginning of your semester out to minimize stress and maximize productivity. Here are some tips to start your semester off strong:
1. Scan your syllabuses
Check over all of your new class syllabuses and determine what type of workload each will have.
2. Organize your calendar
Write each due date into your calendar so you can organize your weeks accordingly.
3. Books
Make sure to get all of your books ahead of time, so when you finish one, you can get ahead on the next.
4. Weekly schedule
Organize your weeks including work, workouts, and social life, so you can balance your daily activities.
5. De-stress
Spend some time each week de-stressing by watching a tv show or spending some time outside!
