Syllabus week is officially over, and UA students are back working toward their dreams one day at a time. The drop dateline is Sunday, Sept. 2. Students need to buckle down throughout the entire semester not just before finals week. Here are 5 tips to stay focused for a prolonged period.
1. Find someone or something that motivates you and reflect on them every night before bed
2. Stay up to date on job openings you want after graduation
3. Plan your next vacation but, recognize the work you will need to do to get there
4. Struggle alongside your friends. Your friends will set you straight when you fall off track. You can do the same for them
5. Try active studying. Recite Organic Chemistry vocabulary on your next exam while doing sit-ups or running on the treadmill
