November is finally here! With that being said, there’s only a month and a couple weeks left before winter break. Are you burnt out from classes and feel as if you won’t survive? Here are a few tips that will keep you motivated to finish your semester off strong.
1. PLAN, PLAN, PLAN!
Around this time of the semester there are tons of papers and exams approaching rapidly. Planning your time is the key to success. Not planning your time wisely can cause you to fall off track from your studies.
2. Set Attainable Goals
If you’re having trouble completing a big project, work on it days in advance, so that way you don’t get overwhelmed. For example, if you have a 25-page paper for class, set goals for yourself. Because it seems like such a big job, don’t focus on that final number. Break the paper down and consider each section of your paper individually. You can handle any project in small chunks.
3. Acknowledge Your Accomplishments
Whenever you finish a goal give yourself a quick reward when you complete an assignment or task. Take a walk, send an email, and get a snack — whatever works for you. Then move on to the next project.
