Welcome back Monarchs, or welcome to any new students! Starting back to school this year is going to be anything but ordinary, but that doesn’t mean you can’t succeed. Going back to classes, whether online or in person, means it is going to be important to be prepared for class. That could mean checking your syllabus, making an assignment check list, getting textbooks and supplies, and so many other things. By getting prepared, you are setting a solid foundation for yourself to build upon, and even lean on if you feel pressure or stress.
Another way to be prepared for this semester is to also prepare yourself to stay healthy. This is important for any semester, but especially now, so aim to keep your health as a top priority. That means doing your best to follow guidelines that have been set and keeping your personal space and items clean. A great habit to form to help keep yourself healthy is to periodically clean your phone. While this is super simple, you’d be surprised how many germs your phone accumulates. You can also encourage your roommates and friends to do the same to get through the semester!
