After some time away, it can be hard to get back into the swing of academic life. It can be helpful to take some time at the beginning of the semester to situate yourself and ensure you’re ready for what the next few months of classes will bring. Here are a few ways to set yourself up for a successful semester.
Plan, Plan, Plan
Having a plan is the best way to find your resolve in a new semester. Whether that means writing out all of your assignments in a physical or digital planner, creating a schedule that incorporates priorities like sleep and time to relax, or just reviewing what’s coming up in your first week of classes, having a plan can save you time and worry. Looking ahead will help you create a schedule that works for you and helps with your time management. It’s easy to become overwhelmed at the start of the semester, but having a plan can help ease the stress and allow you to stay focused and motivated.
