Midterms are finally over and homecoming is just around the corner. But while you’re preparing your homecoming fits, a professor may decide to pile on the assignments. Here are some ways you can balance your work while also having a fun homecoming. 

 

Plan your Evenings According to Your Work.

If you know you have a test the day after a party, then you should make sure you study well so you can still turn up. If you know you need more  time to prepare for the test, then it’s best if you don’t attend the party. 

 

Get That Work Done Early!

If you know you can finish an assignment quickly, then be like Nike and “Just Do It!” The sooner you complete your work, the faster you can hang out with your friends and celebrate your illustrious university. 

 

Have a Priority First Attitude. 

Remember why you’re in college. You’re here to get an education and earn a degree. As fun as homecoming is, don’t waste your time and money when you know that you have a main priority. It’s okay to have fun, but remember why you’re at Hampton University.
