Top 10 Tips to Start Your Semester Off Right A lot might be happening in your life from new classes, friends, exams and more. If you have been unable to cope up with the pressure of moving from high school to college, and were not able to keep up with your grades, don’t fret as you can always start off the new semester the right way. 1. Get to know your professors One of the most important resources a student can use, is their professors. Start your semester by creating a good relationship with them. Take every opportunity to interact with them and to understand their mentality. Teachers and professors often appreciate students’ interest, and can help make a difference in your final grades. 2. Sit in the front While most students dread sitting in the front, braving this area often comes with a lot of perks. When sitting in the front, you need to pay attention to what the professor is teaching, and participate actively in class interactions. You can’t think about sleeping right under the professor’s nose, can you? 3. Organize your notes Organizing notes from the first day of the semester will prove extremely helpful throughout. With the advent of technology, note-taking has evolved in the laptop, smartphone and tablet.

Join a club During the beginning of a semester, organizations and clubs recruit members frequently. This is your chance to become a part of one, and to be surrounded by like-minded individuals.
