The Second Half of The Second Semester Push

Spring break is officially over.

That means we literally have no holidays or breaks to look forward to until the semester officially ends. It is a big wakeup call for us, that means we are past midterms and officially preparing for almost finals and the end of the semester stress struggles.

I don't know about you guys, but I honestly feel like the first week of classes were 3 weeks ago, or something. Where the heck does the time go? With less than 2 months till graduation, it puts a lot of life into perspective. That was the LAST spring break I was ever going to have. Crazy, huh?! Undergrad goes so fast, especially being a transfer student and only spending 2 years at USC. Part of me is completely ready to graduate and part of me is really going to miss my time spent at SC.

Nevertheless, I am going to finish strong my last second semester, EVER. This post is going to include a couple tips to help you finish out this school year with a bang and without banging your head against the wall, hopefully!

I'm not really sure what that creature up there is but he is on point with his state of mind. We are past the half way point in the semester, you should probably start doing the readings and not skimming or ignoring that they exist.

*Insert slow cry here*

Start going to office hours and making a positive impression on your teachers. This will help you for two very important reasons.

Number 1, they are in control of your grades.

Number 2, they work in your field and one day you are going to need a shiny letter of recommendation and no future employer is going to care that you had a 3.9 GPA. They want to know if you are really who you say you are. So start playing the part!

School is going to be over in less than 2 months. Stop googling about why you hate school and get your a$$ to class! Your final grade depends on it.

We start out so strong in the beginning of the semester then we slowly start to fade and stop caring or studying. But I have always stuck to the saying, "It's not about how you start it's about how you FINISH"
