Prepping For a New Semester

Everyone knows there is a new semester about to start (being high school or college), it's time to start gearing up for the fall semester. I know some of y’all are probably counting down the days until your next break, but here are some tips to get help you with preparing for a new semester.


PREPARING FOR A NEW SEMESTER – 5 TIPS

  1. Start getting organized -- I understand classes have not yet started, when they do stay organized. Print out your syllabus for each class. purchase your class books, buy school supplies, and write down all your assignments in your planner. 
  2. Get back on schedule -- As classes are beginning, you don't want to be dragging your first week. I realize even for myself it is very difficult getting back on track after break but it's nice being able to do so.
  3. Create a schedule for yourself -- If you're like me, not only are you involved in clubs or honors but you hold down a job. Make sure you write down  everything important (class, exam,  meeting, etc.) that way you know when you're going to have a busier day in advance.
  4. Start working ahead or on reading --If you already have a posted syllabus work or read ahead for the semester, jump right in and be ahead of your game. I always felt better prepared for class if I read/worked on the material beforehand even if it's not feasible.
  5. Mentally prepare yourself for the semester ahead -- The first week back to school is always exciting and overwhelming so get your head in the A-game and make sure you have the right mindset to start off the semester.

    Hope that your semester starts off strong! Have a great Thursday, y’all.
