With the first day of school rapidly approaching, it seems appropriate to supply some tips that would help you make a smooth transition into the upcoming semester. After spending nearly a dozen weeks out of school, it is only natural that you may want a refresher on how you get back to school on the right foot!  

Checking– If you have yet to register for your classes you may want to start doing so as soon as you get the chance.  For those of you who want to have specific professors at particular times, choosing early could increase your chances of getting the classes you want. Not to mention that courses usually fill up quickly and you do not want to miss out on a seat in a class that was destined for you.

Text– There are a few ways that you could discover what your needed text books are for class ahead of time. A lot of professors have syllabuses posted online with required texts listed. You could purchase them in advance to avoid not being able to get them because they have sold out. Or perhaps you could ask a friend who took this course before you if they happen to still have the texts and if you could use them.

Wake– I know that for me personally, I wake up later in the summer than I do for the school year. If this is the same for you, it may be helpful to slowly start getting up earlier and earlier. For example, if you wake up around ten during the summer and will be getting up at eight for school during the school year, here is a useful tip. Two weeks before classes start you could set your alarm for nine and one week prior to school it would be nice to try waking up at eight.

Supplies– Nothing says new school year like getting supplies. Gathering writing utensils and notebooks is not only a necessary task but it can actually be a rather enjoyable one. It can get you excited for the school year at hand. This also holds true for those of you who have a dorm to furnish. Finding a theme for your dorm and designing it with the school year in mind can really get you in the mood for the new year at hand.

Reading– Those of you who have access to syllabuses may be able to see some of the required readings for your class. If you really would like to be ahead of the game you could start reading before classes start. Not only would you be exceedingly prepared for the first day but this could determine your stature in class because this could help keep you going at a fast pace throughout the school year.
