on 1/21/2007 Don't Burn Out -- Stick to schedules and goals, but make sure to leave room for some "me" time. It is essential that you take a few minutes each day to relax and partake in something you enjoy (ex. a bath, soothing music, nature walk, etc.). This is crucial to maintaining your sanity, without which you will burn out quickly!

on 11/22/2005 If you have an office job, go to work an hour early to study (if possible). Not only will you get more done and have fewer distractions than at home, but you will also beat rush hour traffic.

on 11/22/2005 There is no such thing as "free time." Every minute where you are free or simply enjoying yourself is time well spent. If you do set aside time for yourself, follow your schedule. If you don't, you'll find yourself with very little time to do the things you need to do.

on 11/22/2005 Work on campus. At most schools, work will follow the same schedule as the academic year. It can get real hard to explain to your boss that you want off for a month for Christmas.

on 11/22/2005 Getting a job through your university is usually both flexible and profitable. Most have exam policies so you can choose not to work before exams, and they try to give you the highest wage possible - lots of times in the neighborhood of $7 and up.

on 11/22/2005 Write your entire schedule down! This means everything: class times, chapters to read, study times. That way, not one minute will go to waste. And let your boss know you are in school - he or she will probably be more lenient with you than with others.

on 11/22/2005 Make a monthly calendar and write everything you have to do on it, down to reading chapters, by the date due. It helps keep all the work you have due in perspective, and you see where you have some extra time to relax, too.

on 11/22/2005 Work in your field of study. This gives you a chance to see if you really like your career path and it allows you to become experienced in that field. You'll graduate with a degree and experience in your field -- you'll be way ahead of your peers.
