Things I Learned This Semester

IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN!!

ACADEMICS

1. Don't procrastinate. You think it's a good idea to catch up on ONE MORE EPISODE of your favorite show, or one more level on that game, or something. It's a terrible idea. Don't do it.
2. Do your reading. Take notes. It takes forever, but it will help you later. Especially if it's a literature course.
3. Unless your professor talks at you FROM THE READING for a lecture course. Just take a lot of notes during the lecture.
4. Pace your reading. Take breaks. Go for a run.
5. Do your research. And actually show up to class.

OTHER LIFE

1. Make friends, but don't hang out with huge groups. Friends help, but huge groups can lead to drama and everyone hating each other.
2. Friends can be for studying. use them.
3. Working out can help de-stress. If you have gym anxiety, learn when the off-peak hours are and go at those times when nobody will be there so you can focus on not freaking out about doing other things.
4. Do your laundry. Just do it.
5. Clean your room occasionally. It'll help. Seriously.
