Spring semester has begun! Tips to help start the semester off on the right foot:
- Prioritizing – Make a checklist to stay organized.
- Make time for sleep – Develop a routine to ensure you have plenty of ZZZ’s before that morning class.
- Declutter – Do you still need those notes/papers/books from last semester? Clutter makes it more difficult to focus.
- Reconnect with friends/study buddies.
- Set realistic goals – Tell your friends/family so that they may help support you.
- Get to class early – Rushing can make it difficult to focus and increase stress unnecessarily.
- ENJOY the experience – Yes, there is work to do, but make it fun!

- Describe one’s observations
- Participate by giving one’s full attention
Mindfulness Practice:
- May be done at any moment; after all there is no time like the present
