Tips For Finishing The Semester Strong

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at FIU chapter.

It is after thanksgiving break and you know what that means?! We are just 3 weeks away from finishing our fall semester. It feels like it has been a lifetime to get to this point of the semester but it is finally here, and that also means finals are on their way. Now, do not stress, the last thing you want to do is stress out and overthink possible outcomes, I am here to give you a few tips on how you can end the semester strong.

Get organized. With three weeks of classes left you want to be prepared for everything that is on its way. It would be best to have all upcoming assignments, test dates and extra credit opportunities and when you do not have a class to be written down on a calendar that notifies you or a planner where you write it all down. It is important to write down everything so you have a clear idea of what is going on, and so you can plan accordingly.

Take some time off. Sure, there are three weeks left, but you should not cram everything and stress yourself out for the next three weeks. Give yourself study breaks, this is important so you let yourself breathe and calm yourself down so you can study properly and obtain the information without mixing up what you need to know for one class with another.

Ask for help. It is not too late to ask for help, it never is, well maybe the day of your final exam, but really. It is never too late to ask your professor or classmate to help you with an assignment you do not understand fully, or to explain something from the lesson a little bit better so you can understand it. Even though college seems like this scary place where people seem mean and rude, it is the opposite, everybody is willing to help you, you just need to ask.

Now these few tips might not help everybody and there are certainly so many more tips out there that can help you finish strong, you might even have your own tips and tricks that help you finish off the semester. Regardless of the situation or where you stand, I hope these tips can help you finish strong and walk into winter break feeling free and relaxed.
