Here's how to keep it together this semester

It's a new semester and new you! And although you want to say that you've changed since last year, old habits die hard, and it is easy to fall back into procrastination or losing track of your notes. For example, I have already left my wildcard in my room twice this week! (Luckily, I did not have to call pub safe…). Here are five tips to help you stay on track of your stuff:

1. Keep an organized planner

Using a weekly planner can help you keep track of deadlines as well as any meetings during your busy week! You can also use it to remind yourself to buy books or remember to bring your laptop to lab.

2. Go to the gym, like, actually go.

...Or work out in your room! Exercise is a perfect way to relieve your stress, plus it is important for your health and it can be fun! Whether it is a jog on the treadmill or hardcore abs, you are being more productive than those sitting on the couch!

3. Balance your free time effectively

As interesting as it is to scroll through Instagram and other social media to see what the rest of the world is up to, try to refrain yourself from these distractions! Breaks are good for you, but if you are distracted on your phone a lot, you will lose focus more easily

4. Be sure to get enough sleep (even if it's through naps)

After a busy day, sleep is soo important for your body to relax and that way you will feel refreshed the next day. Even napping is a great idea!

5. Make your bed because it ACTUALLY helps

Right when you wake up after your five alarms, make your bed. Although this sounds like a simple task, it is the small details that make you feel so much more productive.


Don't stress out! You got it dude!

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
