Back in the Swing of Things

Now that second semester has started up its time to get back into reality, as nice as winter break was. So when I moved back to school, I had to make sure my workspace was organized and ready to go.

I have a calendar, dry erase, and cork squares next to my desk so I can always know what I need to do and what is due when for all my classes. Each Class has a cork board and I put all appointments, due dates and events on the calendar. I also have a magnetic memo pad just incase I need to jot something done.

And you always have to make sure all your supplies are at your fingertips. I have fine sharpies thicker sharpies, highlighters, dry erase markers post-its etc. all with in easy access. I'm a post-it note and flash card addict. I use them for everything, notes, reminders, assignment info, I even have special sticky notes for to-do list.

Another amazing discovery for this past semester, Chegg! Its a place were you can rent or buy textbooks. I used to think I needed to buy every book brand new and keep it forever. But I quickly got over that after two semesters of used books each coasting $800 (and thats not an exaggeration). Plus with every purchase they plant a tree! So give it a try, this semester I spent less then $170 on textbooks thanks to Chegg.

I also love reorganizing and trying something new; how do you stay organized and ahead of the game? Any good tips and tricks?

Until next time,

Good luck to all the students on this semester and Happy Blogging!!
