Last semester happened, and at this point, there is nothing to change it (whether good or bad). Sometimes we just need to look ahead to what the future has in store for us. Here are a few ways to make this semester feel like a fresh start, regardless of what happened last semester.
1. Get fresh school supplies.
Even though it's halfway through the official school year, new notebooks and pens will just make everything feel clean.
2. Clean your room/apartment/dorm.
Everything may be cluttered from finals week, but cleaning it up can make it feel like you just moved in and are ready for the new semester.
3. Throw away all of the old assignments.
If you still have papers flying around from that American History course that you'll never use again, throw them out. You don't need reminders of last semester to be looking at you all year.
4. Redecorate your space(s).
If you're getting bored of your decor (or lack thereof), redecorate your desk or room to make it more pleasant to be around (since you'll be studying really hard this semester).
5. Revamp your wardrobe.
There are lots of ways to get new clothes for cheap like Marshalls, Ross, and Outlet stores, so if you feel like you're in a slump this semester, try some retail therapy!
