FROM A PEER:

For this Academic Success Guide, Emily Berman ‘25, shares an organization hack of creating tab groups in Google Chrome that has helped her. Emily shares:

Adding tabs to groups on Google has been an incredible tool that has made it so much easier for me to stay organized with classes, clubs, work, and more. Having so many tabs open is messy, confusing, and overwhelming and would often deter me from getting through my work. When I discovered how to add my tabs to groups, it allowed me to keep my computer organized and keep track of all of my assignments. I am able to have all of the materials I need to complete an assignment in one place that I can access when I am ready to work on that project without the distraction of too many open tabs.
