MHM: Finishing the Semester Strong

Posted by Peer Jack Mentors on April 16, 2018

It’s our second week back from Spring Break and we only have T-5 weeks until the semester is ending! Pretty crazy right?

Just like many mentors and faculty here at NAU we want you to succeed! Here are a few quick tips to pull through the semester and stay motivate

Block Out Your Study Times: 45 minutes a session with 15 minute breaks. Use a planner, or download a productivity app!

Make every other day a different focus. If you’re aiming for that A for your third test, and you might have more than one test this month, plan ahead and study one or two subjects a day. Proceed to alternate so you’re not overloading yourself!

Example: I’ll study Biology and Chemistry on Mondays & Wednesdays. Then, I’ll switch it up to Japanese and Physics on Tuesdays & Thursdays!

You can apply it to your own schedule and it doesn’t have to be two, it can be three at max.

Go. To. Sleep: You can’t be at your very best if you’re not well rested right? Make a cut-off time that’s appropriate for your schedule, and allow yourself at least 6-7 hours of sleep. If you keep pushing your sleep off, you’ll eventually burn out. How will you achieve your goals then?

G O A L S: Continue to reflect at your goals and update them to your needs! Achieve little doable baby steps to get to your ULTIMATE goal. Reward yourself when you reach these goals!

Stay positive! Whether the semester may have been difficult for you, or it’s be a breeze, keep it up! You can do this!!!
