Rock the End of the Semester


It's that time of the year when the end is near but the "to-do" list seems unbearable.
Find 15 or 20 minutes and a quiet space to make a plan so you can rock the end of your semester.

HERE'S TWO RESOURCES THAT MIGHT BE HELPFUL

End of Semester Assignments
Write down all your major assignments on one sheet of paper.  Then, break each assignment into more manageable steps with concrete due dates.  This will help you avoid the "all-nighter cram" on a paper or project.  Give each segment of the project 100 percent of your attention, rather than trying to do many things at once.  After you finish each project, take a few minutes to celebrate your accomplishment.  Perhaps go for a walk, watch a funny video, or anything else you enjoy.  Then, direct your attention to the next task.

End of Semester Planning
Remember way back in January when you set an academic goal such as making Dean's List or achieving a certain GPA?  Well, now is the final push to make that goal a reality.  Review your current progress in each course and what you need to do to earn your goal final grade.  Then, make a plan and get after it!
Be sure to chunk your final projects and exams into smaller manageable tasks.  Rather than pulling an all-nighter the night before, tackle one or two chapters a night for example.  Not only will you and your body thank you, but your grades will as well!
