End of semester advice

It is the last week of classes and most students are more stress than ever at this point. Students, please remain calm. The best things to do are: organize your final assignments on a calendar, organize and put in order due dates and revisions on final work, and last but not least enjoy your friends before you depart for the summer.

The last week of school should be stress free and enjoyable. This is the start of summer vacation and fun, fun, and more fun. There’s absolutely no need to be depressed or worried. If you are feeling any of these to emotions, then you will need to start a new way of doing things for the next semester. This means that you are disorganized and unprepared for your education. Also remember you’re not alone in this process. There are students around you with just as much work, or probably even more. If you need help, there is the Academic Resource Center (ARC), located on the ground floor of the library. The help they provide is unlimited.

Manhattanville has a beautiful and spacious quad that you can take advantage of at anytime during the nice weather days. I encourage you to use the quad to relax and clear your mind, get some work done, and just enjoy the company of your peers.

Last but the least before you leave for your summer vacation make sure everything for the next semester of school is taken care of. These things include financial aide, student accounts, room and board, and any other expenses or issues that could prevent you from having a good start to a stress free semester.
