first week of the semester tips✨

I honestly think the first part of the semester is almost as important as exam week. It is really important you start strong and set yourself up in the best way possible!!

✨ take the time to go through the syllabus and put in all major dates. I put in exams, midterms, assignment deadlines, academic holidays, and office hours. I prefer apple calendar for these things so I can set reminders, but I put things in my physical planner too!

✨ get all required materials. For me, this is usually books, or lab notebooks. This looks different for everyone, but it is important you have everything prepared for when you need to start assignments. Also if you have the books, start reading them. This is the best time to get ahead on the required readings.

✨ set habits. For me this means getting to the library early before class, and finding a place to go to the gym throughout the week. This is the best way to start your mindset for the semester and to start settling in a good schedule for yourself.
