It's really hard to remember due dates without professors reminding you constantly. Here are some ways that help me.

1. I keep all the assignments open.

Me when I get another assignment.

If a professor is using a Canvas dropbox, I will have the assignment open on a tab on my laptop until I turn it in. It just helps me to quickly see how many assignments that I have to complete at one time. By organizing my tabs I can also prioritize which assignments I should complete first by moving the corresponding tab to the furthest left position.

2. I use the calendar setting on Canvas.

When you see all the assignments you have to complete.

If it is a busy week and I know that I have a ton of assignments, I like to keep a tab open on my laptop for the calendar on Canvas. I typically will always have this tab open, even if I have already pulled up all of the assignment pages. It just ensures that I can easily access what is due.

3. I use a planner.

Although it is helpful for me to use a store-bought planner. This is the option that I use the least. I typically only use my planner on weeks that I have a lot of things to do outside of class, so that I can schedule my day down to the hour.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

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. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
