yep

1) What are you most looking forward to next semester?


2) What advice do you have for incoming Freshmen next Fall?

What I'm looking forward to next semester is a new start. I don't know why but I've always liked the second semester better than the first because I've adjusted to waking up and such. And I like meeting new teachers and seeing their teaching methods.

My advice for the incoming Freshmen is the simplest yet most effective piece of advice Do The Work. It does wonders.

1) What are you most stressed-out with at the moment? Why? Is your body re-acting to this stress? Devise a plan to deal with it. (Who do you turn to when you are stressed?)

2) READ the following excerpts from last year's UN100 on how they approach studying and retention of information from textbooks. These are extremely successful and their grades are reflecting it. If you haven't cracked your Anatomy textbook especially, you are doing yourself a great disservice!

The thing that I am most stressed with at the moment is just getting better grades on tests, because I know that I don't do the best on the tests and I think that if I just try to focus and relax I will do better. My body tends to react by giving me cramps and upset stomachs. I also have TMJ where I grind my teeth and clench my jaw, I do this when I get nervous and I end up getting tension headaches. I deal with this by calling my mother or grandmother and just chatting, that always seems to help a lot.
