It is only natural for me to sit down and write a piece that relates to the end. Logically I would write about preparing for finals, but I am a senior and I took classes without finals so I will not be doing that. Instead, I will tell you how to set yourself up for a better semester next time. If you are a senior and reading this maybe you will find some wisdom in it to\u2026if not, sorry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1.)<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Goals. Obviously, this is the most important thing to do when the next semester approaches. Setting goals is a good way to keep yourself on track and on the \u201cstraight and narrow path\u201d as they say.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2.)<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More Time for Yourself. Take time for yourself both mentally and emotionally. School is tiring, rough, and at times draining so planning days to take off from everything and do things you want to do will greatly benefit your health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3.)<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Organization Nation. You can never be too organized, so as you move toward another semester of college take some time to design an organization system that will work for you. Whether that\u2019s color coding with various pens or the ol\u2019 \u201cmy backpack is a filing cabinet\u201d system. Just lock it down.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4.)<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pressure. Do not put a tremendous amount of pressure on yourself. Life is all about failing and figuring it out. If you put an enormous amount of pressure on yourself it will get to you over time, you are not a submarine\u2026you are not built to withstand it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I am sure there are plenty of other things to advise you on for the coming semester, but that comes from looking back at your past experiences and building on them. Just remember: we\u2019re not here for a long time, we\u2019re here for a good time. Enjoy it, Maroons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Zach \u201cOnly Credit Me if it Works\u201d Dalton As I have mentioned in previous articles, the end of the semester is nigh.
