Ways You Can Survive 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!

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
