Well guys, it is that time of the year again: midterms. It all comes up so fast, as if you just started the semester since after-all it is only October.

Relax and take a deep breath. You can get through midterms week as long as you take time to prepare in advance and divide the subjects study time accordingly.

Good luck to everyone and remember, it is only the halfway point so this will not decide your complete grade.

Has anyone noticed in their school clicks between groups of students? Especially if you are in a Division I sports school, there is a profound divide between those who are in athletics and those who are not.

The other huge divide that is painfully noticeable is the different sororities and fraternities that all stick to themselves. My advice: try to avoid any clicks as much as possible, although it is hard since you are trying to fit in with a group of friends.

The best way to find a good group of friends that  benefits your individual needs is to hang out and try new things with all different types of people rather than sticking to the same people. If you be diverse I promise happiness will come to you from there.

I know college can be tough at times. Every semester, you are given new professors with different teaching styles. You have to go into each semester with a plan. I have collected some links for you to help you design this plan and get good grades every semester:

The more you study, the better you’ll do. That’s what every straight-A student has been telling me ever since my first semester. Don’t let the professors get the best of you.

I know that Wikipedia is an unofficial source, but the site is truly amazing. Anything you want to research or even just get an idea of what something is, check it out.

For example, I was recently writing a speech in which helicopters were involved and I needed to know what the term for the blades was, which I found out was the rotor.

I found it in two seconds and it is free and easy! Use wikipedia.org now if you want to learn about anything from everything you want to know about coyotes to a detailed analysis of World War II.

Here is an instructional video on how you can get good grades in school (straight A’s). Check it out, you might learn a thing or two to make it easier for you this semester:
