It's Never Too Late

Sometimes as students we fall off the good band wagon: the one where you're on top of your readings, assignments, and any other activities you may be involved with. Sometimes we feel like it's hopeless and there's no way we can get back in that zone again.

Don't give up!

It's okay to feel like you've lost control, but you can regain control. Justifiably I've gotta say that you may not get back to an upright position on the horse, but if you're on top of the horse and not being dragged by your feet then that's good, right?

If you're feeling stressed and confused, take a moment to relax, not chill and watch tv relax, but calm within yourself. You can't get anything done if you're stressed. Take a deeeeeep breathe and exhale slowly. When you're done, tell yourself I know I can do this. Start by organizing yourself. See what's more urgent and work on those. The other things gradually get them completed. Make use of empty time. By empty time I mean time on the bus, waiting for class or a meeting, don't go home and come back to the school if you have an hour off. Stay in the school and do some reading, or work on something else that you have to do.

You can do it. So can I. WE can get back on the horse and ride it to victory!
