Hooray for March!

Finally a little bit of peace! I'm fairly certain that: A) It is going to be a slow week or B) It is going to be an intense week, for students here at Guilford. Midterm week the storm before Spring Break. Lucky enough for me, I am fortunate for this week to be a bit slower than my last two weeks of running around writing papers and taking tests. But do not get me wrong I still have little odds and ends to do before I can fully say "Finally Spring Break!", after all I still have one more Midterm tomorrow.

 

For future students, my insight for you during any Midterm week or major paper/test week is... just relax. Study hard but don't study so hard that you stay up until four in the morning. It is not worth it to be sleep deprived when you have an 8:30 a.m. class or a test or paper due in the afternoon. Yes, making sure you are well prepared for tests and papers is a wonderful thing but not when it compromises your physical health. This is why time management is the key to everything, well perhaps not everything but it's up there on the top 5 most important skills to have here at Guilford, I believe. My favorite quote I've heard while here on campus from another student is "It doesn't matter if you wait until the last minute as long as your stuff gets done." As much as I can relate to this quote, I STRONGLY suggest you work ahead on all your assignments because eventually all your class assignments add up and you do not want to be feeling overwhelmed during Midterm week. 

 

Aside from the craziness of Midterms, applying for housing next year started today for current students. Lucky for me, I took care of my housing application this morning, but it saddened me that Resident Life changed up how they are doing housing applications so I have to wait two more weeks before I can select my roommate for next year. It's not a bad thing I have to wait, it is more of that fact I like to be assured that all my info for anything gets submitted at the same time. But hey, that's just me. Speaking of Resident Life, keep your fingers crossed, because I really hope I get the Orientation Leader position for next year's Orientation Week. I should hopefully know by Friday whether I've received the job position or not.

 

 

On that note my lovely readers, I'll be back in a couple of days, so take care of yourselves, be safe, be well, and be you! Have an amazing week! I have more work I have to do before my next class.
