January 2015

Hello 2016-ers!

Happy New Year!  Here’s to a New Year, new beginnings, a new semester!

A number of you may have made New Year’s Resolutions, while just as many of you may have decided that such markers of the change of the calendar are not for you.  Regardless of your thinking on the matter, the beginning of the semester is a good time to take stock of your previous semester in terms of time management, study skills, priorities, etc.  What things worked really well for you last semester when it came to effective performance in your classes, organizations, and preparations?  How can you further enhance your utilization of those things?  What things really interfered with your study habits, note-taking, participation, research, etc?  How can you ‘ease’ them out of your daily life?

Sometimes the opportunity to improve your academic experience can come from something as simple as telling your ‘TV buddy’ that you’ll only hang out with her on Saturdays, rather than intermittently throughout the week (and let’s be honest—it’s more fun catching up on 5 episodes of How to Get Away With Murder in one fell swoop than waiting on tenterhooks from one week to the next, isn’t it?).  The change may be large or small, but this is the time to consider it and consider how you might implement it.


Good luck in your new semester!
