Balancing assignments towards the end of the semester

College is very stressful. It's full of things you've never heard of or understood before. You're pushed to your limits of procrastination and cramming. At some point, you realize procrastinating and cramming no longer cut it. But when the assignments pile up at the end of the semester, it becomes hard not to revert back to your old ways. So when you feel the anxiety building up over the end of the semester, take a deep breath and go one at a time. Take each day to do something small, stay caught up on little homework assignments. The bigger assignments, take each day, or every other day to add to it. Think about paper topics way ahead of time and have them ready and organized when your finding your sources. For that class that's your most difficult (we all have that one) study and read ahead. Probably easier said than done, but when you're relaxing on the weekend, take a few minutes to look over notes. Look over notes right after class. Turn to your textbook to read for parts you do not fully understand. Just keep looking over your information, tell your friends about it so the bulk of the info is already circulating in your mind when you go to study for quizzes and tests. 
In the end, don't turn in something you are not proud of. Work hard to put every bit of spare time you have to good use.
