The Semester is Over - What To Do Next


Your finals are over and you are headed home for the semester break.  Here are some things to consider:
  • Keep all of your papers and returned exams until you receive your final grade for each course.  If you think there was an error you will need these to prove your point.
  • Keep all of your syllabii.  If you ever decide to transfer the new school may want to see them in order to determine is the credits will transfer.
  • If you were unable to sell your textbooks, consider selling them yourself at the beginning of the next semester – at a price below the used book price at the book store but higher than you would have received during Book-Buy-Back.
  • Consider reading a book that relates to you field.  Go to your local library for suggestions.
  • Many schools offer short winter sessions on-line.  If you take a class somewhere else, be sure it will transfer before registering.  Your own institution can help with this.
  • Reflect on what went well this semester.  Think about how you will continue to do the same thing next semester.
  • Reflect on what you could have done better.  What changes can you make next semester and how can you implement them?
  • Use this time to recharge your motivation.  Reflect on your goal.  Visualize yourself doing what it is that you want to do.
  • Relax!  Rest!  Enjoy time with family and friends!
