Organizational Tips
- Always make sure to have a specific time blocked out for working. This way, you aren't tempted to blow off homework for other things because it will be scheduled out.
- Set up a clean workspace. I should follow my own advice more, but having a clean, neat area set aside for working will help you focus and cut away distracting messes.
- Seclude yourself if necessary. When I need to really study, I make sure to do so away from the distracting presence of my friends.
- Don't be afraid to ask for help! Professors, TAs, even other students are not scary people! Often they will do their best to help you out or at least point you in the right direction.
- Check the library. It has a wealth of books and resources that are completely free!
- And most importantly, just relax. College can be scary and stressful, but eventually we'll be free, and most grades (that aren't in major classes) won't affect you that much. Try not to sweat the small stuff and lose sight of the bigger picture.
