Working out your Finances
Now is the time when you should be thinking about money—where you’re going to get it and how you’re going to use it. There are important deadlines and events that will help you get your finances in order.
The Power of Study Groups
If you aren’t in the habit of studying in groups, you should start! While studying alone may seem safer and easier, there are many benefits from studying in groups that you’ll miss out on.
The 6th Week
The week of February 24th is the sixth week of classes and a very important time for you to check in with your academic progress. If you’re doing well in the 6th week, you will probably continue to do well. If you aren’t doing so well, this your chance to pick things up before it’s too late. Here are a few questions to ask yourself:
- What are my grades in all of my classes? Are they the grades I expected/want?
- Have I identified the appropriate resources to help me be successful in my classes? Am I using these resources?
- Am I having academic or personal difficulties? Do I know where to go to help me think of solutions and am I using these resources?
