Starting the Semester

With a new semester, one of the most important things a student can do is get organized. I know it sounds cliche, but there is no more calming feeling than walking into your first class with your folders and notebooks already decided upon for each class. 

To take it further, scheduling study time is also super helpful. During the beginning of the semester, most classes don't have as much homework as they typically will later on. Some students will get complacent and not figure out when they are going to study or do their homework when they actually do have things to do, so setting aside time during the first week not only gets you a nice head start on the material, but it will help you avoid being stressed out later on in the semester.
