Hey Everyone!My name is Mike Nelson, and I am one of the coaches here at the Academic Achievement Center. I'm a senior majoring in mathematics and statistics, and have been a coach for two semesters.
Today marks the beginning of the 4th week to the semester, and I hope people have started settling into their spring schedules. This could be a great thing if you are a student who is well organized and is able to juggle all that life has to offer them. For the majority of us though, we are still trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together...
For me personally, it really took me two years to truly figure out how to balance school, work, and extra curricular activities. During those two years, I would always feel like I was getting off to a great start each semester. I had fun hanging out with my friends, going to classes, doing most of my homework, but did not always find enough time to prepare for exams. Towards the end of every semester, I always had a lot of anxiety about finals, because I knew I had not prepared enough throughout the semester. That's why I always promised myself I would not get stuck in this mess next semester, but it continued to happen.
