How You can Achieve a Successful Term

With the thought of beginning a new term daunting for some and challenging to others, how should you effectively prepare for a new term?
Writing lists to stay organized is key. Make a plan for a success based on what worked well last term and what you can do differently in order to achieve excellence.
 Invest in a diary in order to write down assignments and stay on top of deadlines. Not only will this help you achieve good grades but organizational skills and the ability to prioritize are transferable skills that will help you in the future workplace environment.
Start your reading early in order to stay one step ahead of the game. Setting up a study is an essential preparation towards starting a new school term. That way, you can fall straight back into it and get a head start. It is not advisable to learn in bed; the amount of information absorbed will be reduced drastically due to your mind set transforming into relaxation mode.
Reconcile your sleeping patterns. At least eight hours sleep is needed for optimum brain functionality.

More importantly, your choice of friends will either make or mar you. Choose friends that will sharpen you academically and separate from friends that are negative influences.
Additionally, note that there is so much expectation over you from your parents, teachers and society at large; be open to change with regards to your learning process.
