Second week determination

The second week for returning students often begins with an idealistic determination: I will do things better this year/semester! I will stay on top of my readings and assignments, eat better, get more sleep and exercise, improve my grades, etc.

Tips to maintain the determination:
1. Set yourself realistic expectations and goals.
2. Reward yourself when you achieve them
3. Grandma's rule: make sure you don't reward yourself until AFTER you've achieved them!
4. Keep perspective.
