Spring semester is coming and that means prep before classes! It's very tempting to not do anything before they start, but habits take a while to develop so if you haven't already, here's some things to start doing before classes start to make the beginning of this semester easier!
Go over syllabi if available
Start getting on your sleep schedule
Read for at least an hour a day (to get you used to dedicating time to studying)
If you have textbooks, start going through them!
Get your car checked and get your maintenance done!
Figure out your work schedule
Make sure the school is up to date with any necessary accommodations you may require and start letting your professors know too
Figure out vacation dates
Create a study plan and daily routine for discipline
If you find the textbook online for free, go ahead and share that link with your classmates they will love you
Learn to make some easy snacks like hummus, salsa, veggie soup, and fried rice
Go visit your classrooms to see how long the commute between classes is and figure out best walking paths
Put test dates in your calendar
Make a list in your notebooks about subjects, tests, etc to have a quick reference
Make sure your computer software is up to date
Practice different focus methods so you don't have to try to do this while studying
Create or find a study Playlist!
Find a stress release activity
Make sure you have your comfort items
