Got the Semester Blues?

I think we all do! It is that time in the semester when you just want to be outside, hanging out with friends, or home with your friends and family! I totally understand and agree. It is so hard to concentrate and focus when the sun is still out at 7 pm. I think it is only 5 pm and realize I have been procrastinating all day. So I keep telling myself that in 39 days, I’ll be home bound! For most of you that will be shorter depending on your final schedules. The best thing to do now is work even harder. I know you don’t want to study for that exam, but you don’t want to throw all your hard work away now! So I have some tips to surpass the rest of the year! 1.) Keep going to class! 2.) Review your notes after class 3.) Make note cards or study sheets 4.) Form study groups 5.) Ask professors/TA’s for help 6.)Take breaks (like 20 minutes, not 2 hours) 7.) Get enough sleep 8.) Eat healthy 9.) Go to the gym 10.) Set goals for yourself I feel that these tips work for me! Try your best and study hard! It is only another 39 days! We can do it! Put your mind to it! Good Luck with the remainder of the semester! Danielle M. Scalise Undergraduate Student Curry Hall CA Major: Elementary Education Minor: Special Education The Pennsylvania State University
