WIS

ELY

While checking on your friends or putting off an assignment because you are burned out may seem at times to be the logical decision, it never is.

MANAGE YOUR TIME WISELY

Build study time into your schedule and do your work ahead of time so work doesn’t pile up at the end of the semester.

MANAGE YOUR TIME WISELY

It might also be a good idea to download a calendar application onto your smart phone or laptop to make sure you stay on top of your school work.
