How to Organize for a New Semester

Personally, I think there's nothing better than the beginning of a new semester. It's a fresh start: new classes, people and a different schedule all together. While I am definitely a creature of habit, switching things up and changing semesters is something so refreshing. However, I also think a good amount of work comes with switching semesters in order to properly prepare for all of your new classes. Read all of my tips for organizing in preparation below!


+ Clean off your desktop 
I acquire so much junk on my laptop throughout the semester, and it doesn't get much better than being able to drag it all to the trash once you've taken your finals and the classes are officially over. Delete old files that you won't need again to save storage on your computer. I also suggest creating a "First Semester" folder to hold each class's folder from the first semester for easy access in case you would ever need any of it. Then, make new a new folder for each class to put documents in for the new semester.

+ Buy new notebooks and highlighters 
This is hands down my favorite part because I am the biggest school supplies junkie alive. I think it's definitely worth the investment to get Five Star notebooks because even though they are pricer than others, they never rip and have sturdy folders to store papers in. I also always seem to go through highlighters quickly, so I'll restock those and sometimes a pack of pencils too.

+ Make your schedule visible
I don't know about you, but I always second guess myself about which class I have when, where and what room number it's in. (It's probably the nerdy college freshman in me :) On the first day I'll usually make my phone background my schedule so I can check it easily, and I recommend printing out a hard copy to put somewhere convenient like your planner.

+ Get to your first classes 30 minutes early
First semester, my 8 am Finite class was in the Geology building (somewhere I wasn't familiar with) and it took me so long to find my classroom in it. Luckily, I got there early enough on the first day to find the correct classroom and grab a good seat before class started. If possible, I recommend walking out your schedule before the semester starts to make sure you can get from class to class in the amount of time you have. I ended up having to switch classes last semester because I couldn't make it from Finite to Spanish in 15 minutes!

I'd love to hear any advice you have for preparing for a new semester in the comments below!

  3. This post makes me miss college oh-so-much! I'm a teacher now, so I guess I get to be on the other side of it, but it's not as much of a change or a fresh start each semester as it is in college :)

    It is imperative that you eat well while trying to build up your muscle. Your body's muscles need specific types of nutrients so that they can stretch, grow and recover efficiently over the course of your muscle-building efforts. There is considerable evidence that protein shakes make it easier for your body to maintain muscle fibers after workouts

  9. Nitro Build Plus

    Be careful when deciding which moves you will do with more weight; some moves are not favorable to extra weight. It is quite possible to sustain an injury by doing neck movements, split squats and dips, as they can place joints in precarious positions. Keep heavier loads for bigger exercises like rows, presses, squats and deadlifts

    Set realistic goals when you create your bodybuilding program. Remember that it will take a lot of time and effort to reach your ultimate goal. If you try to build your muscles too fast with the help of steroids, stimulants, or any other substance that can be harmful, you will be doing damage to your body, and can set yourself up for major health problems.

    Quit smoking now. Smoking deprives your skin of oxygen and cause wrinkles. Also, it can lessen the amount of valuable nutrients in your body. It also damages the collagen and elastin that your skin needs for its vibrancy. Quitting can save not only your skin, but also your life.

    Don't cut out carbs when building muscle. Carbohydrates give your body the energy it needs to get you through your muscle building program. Without a sufficient amount of carbohydrates, your body breaks down protein, and those proteins are needed to build muscle mass. Try to get enough carbohydrates to you can get the most from your workouts.

  15. Hypertone Force

    A problem that people run into when trying to build muscles is that one group isn't as quick to grow as others. Fill sets are wise in order to focus on the slower muscles. A fill set is a short set of 25 to 30 reps of moves that specifically targets a problem area. Incorporate fill sets two to three days after a workout that focused on the muscle group.

    Do not use conditioner on a daily basis if you have a fine hair texture. Depending on how fine your hair is, you may not need to use it more than once to twice a week. Overuse of conditioner will make your hair look dull, and can weigh it down. If you want to keep a natural, shiny look, keep the conditioner to a reasonable limit.

    If you want to lose some weight, an effective food to add to your diet is pineapples. This fruit is sweet and delicious, and it is a wonderful diet food because it has a significant amount of bromelain. Bromelain assists your body by helping digest fats, protein, and starches. This boosts your metabolism quickly.

    Be sure that you are eating healthy when training. For example, building muscles requires plenty of protein and carbs and only certain fats. Do not assume that you should do this by simply eating more. Instead, you should make it a point to consume a balanced diet. Protein supplements and vitamins are an essential part of the muscle building process.
