It's sylly week and you're feeling lost already. Here are a few ideas on how to start the new semester on the right foot.
Get A Planner And Actually Use It
Using a planner is the best way to stay organized throughout the semester. The perfect time to buy one and start using it you ask? Syllabus week! Not having many many assignments during the first week is when you should go through the syllabus (hence the name of the week), and write down all of the important dates to remember.
Buy your Textbooks
Though this sounds obvious, most people don't buy their books until after school starts. This is very smart because some professors are just trying to suck all of the money out of you and you never actually use the book! Go to class during syllabus week and get a vibe for if you really need the book. Also, do your research on websites such as rate my professor to see if previous students used the book.
Take Note of your Professor's Office Hours
Many students don't use their professor's office hours and I have no idea why honestly. Your professor is there to help you! And they are an expert in the class you're taking! Knowing when the office hours are will help in the future when you need to go get help, you won't have to waste time looking up when and where you need to go.
See What Homework You Can Start Early
Getting ahead before getting overwhelmed is the best to hopefully NOT get overwhelmed later in the semester. Usually, there is some assignment that you can start way before to it's due. Also, spending this extra time on the first assignment will start your grade off on the right foot, with hopefully a 100%!
Make Sure To Have Fun
Let yourself have fun during this slower time in the semester also! If you don't, you'll more than likely get burnt out really, really fast. This week is the best because you are back with your best friends after not seeing them in what feels like forever. Go crazy at least a couple times during this week!
