| Note to students: When you become a senior, you realize that time is your best friend. Do not waste it, especially with trying to get homework/assignments done as well as studying for an exam. Managing your time will save you from pulling all nighters, drinking way too much coffee and energy drinks as well as getting a low GPA. Be positive and take breaks whenever you can. Stay active and keep your focus on the most important thing i.e. graduating and becoming successful. There is nothing wrong with having a good time in college. Just remember why you are here. Let the cost of tuition, books and housing serve as a reminder as well as motivation to stay on track. All the best! | |
