As you may or may not have noticed it is November 9 2010 which means we have about 20 class days left to the semester! Frightening? Yes. Exciting? Yes! 

What does this mean for you? It means that finals are a mere 20 class days away and now is the time to start preparing yourself at least mentally for what’s to come…one thing you should never do (but the even the best of us do it) is PROCRASTINATE!!!! 

I know it’s really easy to get caught up in all the fun things college has to offer: no curfew and good friends to name a few, but at some point you need to take a break from it and work on some…work. That being said, don’t put your cellphones down just yet (and know you probably haven’t), but just schedule your time wisely. 

How do you do it? Section out a large chunk of time to do your homework everyday and even work ahead on homework if you’re feeling saucy. Or if you can’t focus in your room, go to the library and work there (personally, I work better in the library because I am easily distracted). Just make sure you don’t procrastinate! Because in the end you’ll be thankful you didn’t when you are hanging out with your friends!
