Becky: Getting ready for the uni semester!

In the blink of an eye, holidays are over and another semester of uni commences.

The uni semester is a bit like riding a rollercoaster. There are many highs and lows, twists and turns as assignments pile and exams creep up. Here are just a few things that I find useful for preparing myself for the semester:

• Buy textbooks and notebooks
• Organise your calendar and workspace
• Get back on schedule (especially resetting your sleep cycle back to normal!)
• Enter the semester with a positive mindset
• Set some goals
• Don’t neglect your social life

Basically, organisation and achieving a work-life balance is the key to having a great semester. Don’t forget, it’s not all about studying and grades. So remember to make spare time for friends and hobbies and just enjoy the ride. Before you know it, 12 weeks will be over and it will be holidays again!
