Thou Shalt Not Procrastinate: Ah, procrastination—the sworn enemy of productivity. Trust me, I’ve been there, done that, and bought the “I’ll do it later” T-shirt. But let’s be real, waiting until the last minute to write that paper or cram for that exam is a recipe for disaster. So, repeat after me: “I will not procrastinate… starting tomorrow.”
Invest in Comfy Shoes: Between trekking across campus to attending late-night study sessions, your feet are going to need some serious TLC. So, do yourself a favor and invest in a pair of comfy, supportive shoes that can withstand the miles you’ll be logging. Bonus points if they’re cute enough to wear to class and the occasional dance party.
Become BFFs with Google Calendar: Say goodbye to the days of forgetting important deadlines and hello to the wonders of Google Calendar. This nifty tool will be your lifesaver when it comes to keeping track of classes, club meetings, study sessions, and, let’s be real, brunch dates. Just remember to actually check it… regularly. Or do like me, acquire a cute calendar that fits your needs and inspires you to do great things.
