This is it, people. Two more weeks of school and our first semester as college students is officially over. Went by fast didn't it? Well to those of you who might be struggling right now here's a few things to remember.
1. Your grades are not you.
You're not defined by the grades you get in a class. You're defined by who you are as a person and remember that you still have time to do your best and try your hardest.
2. Take a break.
I was told at the beginning of the semester that sometimes students will get so far into their work that they will forget to even eat and to be honest that has happened to me. Remember to take a break, you need one no matter what. Watch Netflix. Have an impromptu dance party. Eat some ice cream I don't know, but remember to relax even if you're stress.
3. Ask for help.
The first thing I was taught here was that it is OK to ask for help. If you don't ask for help how are you supposed to learn? If you don't ask for help, how are you supposed to change? Learning equals change so ask for help.
4. Get a study group.
Most of the time studying isn't fun, believe me, everyone knows it, but we still have to do it. One way to make it more fun is to have a study group. Get some friends together, put some music on in the background, and get to work. It really helps.
5. Don't freak out, study.
If you give yourself time to absorb information without overworking yourself you'll be a lot less stressed. You know what you have to do use your favorite method to get it done.
6. Don't forget to congratulate yourself.
Eat some ice cream. Just do it.
