3 Ways to Maximize the Rest of Your Summer Break

Hard to believe, but summer vacation is about to come to an end as the new term starts in just 15 days!

Here are 3 ways you can maximize the rest of your glorious summer break:


1. If you haven't been having a lot of it already, make FUN a necessary element of these next two weeks!

Call your best friend or a long-long buddy you've been meaning to connect with, and try a few of these great summer activities.







2. Prep for the new term by doing all the new-school-year To-Do's.

Buy a few new pieces for your wardrobe to freshen it up, take inventory of your school supply needs, start thinking about what classes to take (and enroll if you want to ensure your spot!), and catch up on any chores, projects or big errands before your schedule gets super busy again.

The most important part is to start now so you don't stress yourself out the week classes begin!


3. Begin with the end in mind.


Start thinking about this upcoming term and see yourself at the very end of Finals Week in December. Ask yourself: What do I want to gain out of the Fall 2011 term?

Once you've identified a few personal and professional goals, write them down (frame it if necessary) and review them daily and weekly.

Plan to succeed, and you will!



P.S. If you are a new or returning student, plan to join us for Group Advisement & Orientation on Wednesday, August 10th from 10-11AM in GC4116.

It's very important that you attend; you'll receive advice on what classes to take, how to register for classes, your Degree Plan Sheet, validation and enrollment, and personal one-on-one advisement.
