With the new semester here you have probably made some promises to yourself about what you're going to do this semester. You know last semester you slacked off just a little bit and you want to find ways to make up for it this semester, but you're not sure how. Well, one start to doing great this semester is staying organized! By staying organized you will know when all of your test and quizzes are and when to study for them! There are many different ways to stay organized, but these are the few that I use to make sure my semester goes smoothly.
1. Get A Planner
Having a planner will save your life in college! It's so easy to not stay organized in college, but with a planner it makes everything about college just seem a little less stressful. This is the first step to staying organized this semester and probably the most important step.
2. Color Coding
This may seem a little extreme to some people but I think that this is one of the key steps to staying organized! By color coding your classes you will know exactly what you have due that day for that specific class. It makes you planner look more organized and look a little more clean!
3. Write Down All Your Assignments
Even if it is something little that you think that you'll remember, write it dow anyway. There is nothing worse than thinking that you will remember an assignment and then forgetting it because you forgot to write it down!
4. Decorate Your Planner
I know it may seem a little silly, but instead of looking at a plain boring planner every time you pull it out make it your own! If you have a boring looking planner there is a really good chance that you never want to use it, but if you decorate it and make it your own you are always going to be wanting to write stuff in it!
5. Have A Great Semester!
Use your planner to kill this semester!
