How can you survive the whole stressful academic year?
As an incoming 3rd year communication arts student, I’ve faced a lot of challenges in the last 2 years. We don’t just focus on our academics, we also need to focus in theatre plays, productions, and media writing.
Let’s jump on surviving your school year 101!
1. Prepare Yourself.
Yup, if you really want to survive the academic year, you need to prepare yourself. Summeris over and you need to get rid of your summer habits like staying up all night watching K-dramas or western tv series, procrastinating, and of course, not studying. Well, based on my research it takes 21 days to get rid of a habit. I think it’s a step by step process to gain your study habits and putting your summer habits in a treasure box and lock it away until next year.
2. Be Organize.
First of all, if you are decluttering things, especially paper files, do not throw them away. Put them in a storage box and put a label on it. Sometimes, they can still use it as a reference. These paper files can also your friends, especially if you are in college.
The second is, in order to be organized for this year, you can actually buy an envelope or clear book and you can stack your current files. In that way, you can easily bring it in school since you are storing them together.
Always have a pencil case. I mean, pencil case is not just for pencil case right? Bring a 2-3 ball pen, highlighters, correction tape and a pencil. You know why you need more than one ball pen? Because you will lose them throughout the year. Trust me.
3. Time Management
In order to fully function, you need sleep. But if you are in college, sleep is for the weak. Requirements can eat your sleep like a food. But if you manage your time right, you might sleep well at night just like a baby.
Don’t ever procrastinate. It’s kinda tempting to do, but if you do it, you will regret it. If the submission is on next Friday, start doing it before the week of the date. Day by day, you can have a sturdy process for your works, unlike if you cram it for one day. If you ever cram it, you will stay up all night, and your term paper will be like someone’s album. A flop.
4.) Have a Competition
Having a competition is a great idea. Because you need to keep up every time. But do know that the greatest competitor that you can have is yourself? What you need to do is to beat the older version of yourself. Because if you are not changing, then you are not growing as a matured person. Learn to accept and let things go easily. Your goal in your education is not just to pass your subjects, but to learn, grow and be the better version that you can be
5.) Stay focused on your goals.
lastly, you need to be motivated. sometimes there will be a time where you will feel that you are in the verge of giving up. don’t. be motivated everday. always think your goals and achievements. think about your parents on how they will be proud of you once you get graduated. always think your friends who are always there to support you. always think that we have God that is much more bigger than our problems.
Last tip: if you ever feel depressed, be depressed but well dressed.
BE CONFIDENT. BE WISE. BE YOU.
