Communicate, communicate, communicate
This mid-semester stretch no doubt involves a number of
group projects to complete and that also means having to
communicate with your group members about meeting
deadlines and logistics to have a meeting about the
workload and completion of the project and all those
shenanigans. For group meetings especially, everyone has
to decide on a date to meet, but because of the busy
workload that university brings about, there may always
be that one person who won’t be able to make it.
Additionally, talk with your group members if you feel that
something is not right regarding the dispersion of the
work load! Tell them your needs and wants for the sake of
the group in the calmest way possible, and they will
definitely understand.
Take time out
While it can all begin to be so overwhelming and chaotic in
the midst of working on assignments and studying for
exams, taking time to do things for yourself is another key
to staying motivated to get everything done. This means
that you deserve a break every once in a while by doing
something not related to school work. For example, going
out with your friends and family during the weekend,
binge watching Netflix, going for a nature walk or hike, or
even heading to the gym just to get those endorphins
releasing! So that when you go back to your studies, you
can come back with a fresher, clearer mind again. Good
luck!
