1. Make sure you know what to do
Syllabus week is real--be sure to make a note of what is going into your grade, how much it is worth, and what you need to be doing to stay above water.
2. Do not procrastinate
Honestly, if you keep studying a little bit every day you can avoid staying up until 4 am. I promise, I'm taking 21 hours right now and I can finish everything by midnight.
3. Make friends
You can't study all the time. It is alway nice to have a group of like minded people to go and complain to every time something goes wrongs-- and it will.
4. Escape the social bubble
However, you do need to study sometimes. SO ESCAPE. and study. Or going to sleep at 4 am is going to feel like a blessing.
5. Sleep
I cannot stress this enough. Just sleep. No caffeine, not peeling you eyes open, just take a step back and give your body what it needs.
6. Eat Healthy
The Freshman 15 is real, and the food isn't even that good. So if not to regulate weight, make healthy choice because sometimes I have no idea what this stuff is made out of.
7. Work out
Exercise keeps your brain active and is a great outlet for stress. Take advantage of your on campus gym
8. Take a Break
Sometimes, you need to put everything aside and just go home and relax--do it.
