You’ve just made it through the first month of the Spring Semester. We haven’t had much of a winter this year; the weather hasn’t been so bad at all…so we’re already off to a good start!
Below, are a few tips to help you survive the rest of the semester.
Survival Tips:
DON’T Skip Out On Sleep
All-nighter’s are bound to happen at some point in the semester but try to limit them to a few times a month, not per week. Sleep is necessary for concentration, focus and just your mood.
Work Out
If you hate gyms, try out the campus pool or track or workout outside. The weather might be cold, but it doesn’t mean you should pass up on your adrenaline fix. The endorphin rush will help you with stress and keep you in shape (I know spring break is around the corner so get your body right, graduation is also on the way and then it’s summer break!).
Eat the Right Way
A few unhealthy snacks here and there aren’t going to hurt you. But, if all you’re putting in your face is Ramen noodles, pizza from Papa John’s or the Campus Center, you clearly don’t care about yourself. Get on a good diet plan and stick to it. It’s not that hard to do. If you need to cheat, have cheat days, but don’t let your sugar cravings throw you off. You want to look right for spring break, correct?
Classes
You’re not going to ace every paper, group project or exam. Sometimes those notes in class just don’t cut it… So, if you’re having a hard time go to office hours, seek help from classmates. There are available tutors on campus if you need one on one teaching. All of these are the keys to success. Don’t let them stop you from succeeding.
Making Ends Meet
If you’re on a budget and need a quick fix to redeem your spending money for class and all of the tedious expenses that go with it, try out some of these options:
1. Get a job
2. Refer back to number one
Hopefully these tips will guide you into the right direction. Good luck and make the most of spring semester!
