The Thanksgiving holiday has ended, Black Friday sales are over, and the “Cyber Weekend” is coming to a close. You’re back on campus, and you have to hit the ground running to make it through the end of the semester unscathed.
In the midst of this end of the semester rush, I recommend that you take some time to look back on this past fall term. If I had to guess, I would say that most of you experienced a lot of changes over the last fifteen weeks. Whether it was adjusting to college life as a first semester freshman, earning a failing grade for the first time, or learning how to live on a shoestring budget, every semester is eventful for college students.
Reflecting on what you have learned and experienced this past semester can help you take stock of where you have come from, and determine where you are going. Hopefully you are a better student, roommate, friend, child, sibling and/or significant other than you were when the semester began. If there’s room for improvement in any one of these areas, you can start to consider how to make changes so that next semester goes better. You can also start looking ahead and strategizing how to achieve your goals for your future. And if you don’t have any specific goals, now’s the time to make them!
Don’t float through the end of your semester. Instead, be introspective. College is short, so you need to make the most of your time here.
