I know it’s a cliché, but seriously, enjoy every moment. Say yes to those spontaneous adventures in the middle of the night. Say yes to hanging out with your friends, even when you’re tired. Say yes to joining that club or taking that class you’ve always wanted to, even if you have a lot on your plate.
Time flies faster than you think, and before you know it, you’ll be a senior in your last semester. So make the best of every moment, attend school events, say yes more often and collect incredible memories for your future.
But also, don’t procrastinate too much. I know the assignment is due at 11:59 p.m., but trust me, you’ll feel so much better if you finish it early. Take advantage of the free prints we get at the library, print all your syllabuses, calendars and anything to help get yourself organized. Ask for help when you need it, professors can be pretty understanding, especially when you’re honest with them.
Take those 30 minutes before the test to go over everything one more time. I know scrolling through social media sounds more fun, but getting that A will make your day. And lastly, don’t forget to sleep. I know it’s tempting to try to do everything in one night, but there’s no energy drink strong enough to keep you from burning out.

My advice is simple: don’t bite off more than you can chew so you can enjoy your time at VWU.

Make sure you have a hobby. It has to be something intentional, which you dedicate a portion of your time to. Actually, for the best results, you should have a couple hobbies which only slightly interact with each other (one of them should involve moderate exercise). It helps stretch the brain, which can only be a good thing.
