Some people are down to get right back into the swing of things after winter break… and some people are NOT. Between the cold weather and the comfy clothes of winter, there are so many reasons to never leave your bed let alone your dorm. Read on for 4 tips on how to have the best semester with the least effort.
Postmates anything and everything
Even though the dining hall is less than a 5 minute walk away, single digit temperatures have that walk feeling like a hike up Mt. Everest. With Postmates, you don’t even have to dial a number or talk to a real person on the phone, and you can track your entire Seoul Taco order from the second you place it in the app to the minute the driver arrives outside your dorm.
Don’t add any classes until the last day of the add/drop period
The great thing about not being enrolled in a class is that you can’t be docked attendance points for not showing up! While this tip is only for the risk takers out there, it could earn you up to an additional week of stress free days. The last day to add classes for the spring semester is January 27th, so take that as you will!
Order all of your school supplies from Amazon Prime
Ah, the wonderful world of student discounts. Students get 6 months of free two day shipping with amazon prime when they sign up with a university email. This means you can order all of your binders, notebooks, pencils, textbooks, and highlighters without moving from your bed and get them all before your class even meets again. Give your roommate your student ID on their way to the mailroom, and you’ll have successfully prepared for class without ever getting out of bed. Fun fact – you can also order some food necessities, like power bars and cereal from amazon as well.
