Tips For Managing A Stressful Semester!

Just some tips about how to manage a stressful semester!

1. Put all your deadlines in a calendar

The easiest way to stay on top of all your coursework is to visualize when you have a heavy course load week vs when you do not, that way you can know what's expected of you for each week. Using a 4 month planner is the best as it shows all your deadlines in the span of four months! Especially if you sync your online calendars on multiple devices, you can get reminders for quizzes/midterms on your phone!

2. Read the assignment when it's given!

Even if you're not starting an assignment when it's posted, read it!! Then you will have a good understanding of what you are required to do and how to start!

3. Plan a buffer time for things to go wrong!

No matter how on top of your game you are, something could go wrong at any second! Your laptop could just stop working (happened to me last semester), you could get sick unexpectedly, etc. Always plan for a day buffer between when you want to finish an assignment to when it is actually due!
