As we look forward to the summertime, we must dig deep to finish the semester strong! We asked our Spring 2024 Student Ambassadors for tips on closing the spring term with excellence. Check out what they shared below!
Trenton from Prairie View A&M University:
It is essential to stay organized, review syllabi, and remain ahead of assignments so that the deadline is always met. To make these suggestions more effective, I recommend using a planner to keep track of everything that needs to be done before the semester ends. Having a clear and accurate overview of your responsibilities will allow you to prioritize your tasks to ensure that nothing falls out of place.
Lakshmi from the University of North Texas:
Staying motivated is crucial for success. Setting attainable goals, praising progress, and envisioning victory helps me stay motivated and focused while I pursue my academic ambitions.
Molly from the University of Mississippi: Throughout all of the business of finals week it can be hard to remember to get an adequate amount of sleep, but it is so important! Quality sleep will help recharge your body and your mind to be ready for studying and exams, so try to make sleep a priority.
Lean from College of Southern Maryland – Eastern Shore:
Because the weather is getting nicer, I recommend studying or working outdoors. It is a nice change of scenery and environment and often is much more relaxing than studying inside a building. To study for finals, I suggest doing so with friends or classmates, as this allows you to study without sacrificing social time. It also makes the study session more enjoyable.
Puja from the University of North Texas:
Implement stress management techniques that work for you, whether it’s meditation, yoga, exercise, or listening to music. Recognizing when you are stressed and addressing it can prevent feelings from becoming overwhelming. Stress management not only helps maintain your mental health but can also improve your cognitive function.
Madelyn from the University of Mississippi:
Although it might sound cliche or cheesy, encouragement is essential to finishing strong! Remind yourself that your best is the best YOU can do, and that’s okay! Keep your inner circle close and encourage each other. It makes a difference when you are reminded that your purpose is greater than the grades you receive; it takes more grades than one to get a degree!
