4 Easy Tips for Preparing for a New Semester

/ Study tips

Anyone else binge watch a bunch of Netflix series? Which totally messed up their body clock. How about having a hard time in turning off “vacation-mode” from your mind? 

If you are any of the above (or both), then here are four tips of preparation for a new semester.

1. Start Fresh

A blank sheet of paper is much easier to write on than one that is already filled in. Let’s start our semester with a clean slate. This means cleaning your study space physically and digitally. Airing out your room, your desk, or any place you study can help clear your mind. This will revitalize, renew, and reenergize you. 

You will be better prepared for this semester if you clean your desktop computer, laptop, and tablet. Additionally, you will not have to look through multiple documents to find your pdf slides for your upcoming course. 

3. Plan out your due dates

Start putting due dates for each course on a calendar, a paper or digital planner. Due dates for projects, homework, exams, quizzes, and estimated completion dates of topics. This will give you a general idea of how heavy your semester will be. Knowing this will help you to prepare.
 
Make sure you organize your due dates by color. Use different highlighters/pens for each course.

4. Get some rest

Make sure you get enough sleep and rest. You have a lot to accomplish this semester, so gather some energy. Grab some of your favorite drinks and snacks, then binge watch (or continue watching) another Netflix series, since this will be the last (for now).
 
Remember that you did it before, so you can do it again.
