How You Can Prepare For The Upcoming Semester

Us college students have so much stress in our lives from grades to our social lives that we have started learning how to manage our stress slowly, and hopefully this semester will not be as stressful as the last! There are many ways to survive this upcoming semester, but here are five of them!

1. Make A Schedule.

We all should be organizing! Try scheduling your work hours, your classes, and a study time as well as other times! Being organized can hep tremendously!

2. Study For At Least 2 Hours For Each Class.

Try studying for your classes if you haven't already. I know it's something we all dread and would rather spend the time watching Netflix instead, but it needs to be done! One of my math teachers suggested this at Asbury: "Schedule two hours for every class you have." It really helps a lot!

3. Plan Time With Friends And Homework Equally.

Try planning time with friends and homework equally! Last semester was not that great for me, partially because I wanted to spend time with my friends and never made time for homework. One of my friends would constantly ask me to do homework with them. I couldn't--because for me and I know some of you can relate--I cannot do homework while talking with my friends or while watching TV. I tend to lose focus, and everything is too distracting. If you have this problem, I suggest managing your time wisely, maybe even equally!

4. Schedule A Sleep Time.

Try going to bed early! Waking up refreshed is a great way to start the day, and is better for your body. Don't cram homework in until 1 a.m. Try the homework schedule described above, and go to sleep at a reasonable time. Your body will thank you!

5. Get A Tutor.

If you've tried everything, but a tutor... Get a tutor! Maybe it'll help you get better grades, or help you understand something better. Don't keep yourself in the dark, or struggling!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
