Looking back at the previous semester, students look at what they would like to improve upon and change to make this semester one of the best. Whether it be changing the way to study, or getting a tutor for the class you're the most nervous about, there are school resolutions clouding the thoughts of students.
If the previous semester was not one of the best academic experiences the students may have had, they vow to do something to improve. Since there are many resources on campus that are free to students that give them the chance they need to raise their GPA, some may vow to look to get more involved.
For some of the more secluded students, a new year calls for another chance to make new friends and branch out more. Many sports and different clubs are offered as multiple chances to meet some people that could potentially be their life-long friends.
As big of a hassle it may be to schedule some much needed study time into the already stressful calendar of college students, there is no hesitation made to improve on previous mistakes and problems that occurred the last semester. Personally, I took this semester as a chance to focus more on the classes that I need for my major and to accept that I will need help preparing for exams as this semester progresses.
Whether it be through tutoring, study groups, or many of the other options Grand Valley has to offer to its students, there are many free resources to help improve grades.
