1. Own a Planner
From experience, scheduling your tasks and goals with an actual planner really
helps. Mark down all the deadlines and exam dates and check your planner daily
so you won’t miss anything. I have my own personal planner that I use and keep
track of on a daily basis and it really helps me juggle between work, school and
friends.
And most importantly....
2. Revise your Lecture Notes
5. Don’t Panic
Perhaps you haven’t been very attentive in class so you’re not sure how you're
going to make a start on all those final essays? As we’re currently in the middle of
the semester, now’s the perfect time to catch up and revise all your notes!
Because everything’s going to
be just fine!
3. Attend classes
Not missing the last couple of classes is crucial because that’s usually when
lecturers announce the most important bits about the final assignments and
exams—so if you're aiming high, then perhaps it’s best not to skip these.
4. Stay (…or become) Healthy
University can be stressful but try to find time when you can go for a jog and
exercise to let out all your frustrations and worries. Or you could even just go for a
walk for 30 minutes. It might not seem like a lot but you’d be surprised at the
results!
