10 New Years Resolutions for Students </font></strong> </u> </div>
<p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>1.
Get organized</strong> - Keep a track of your study material, if
you don’t have them organized then start this year to put your things
in place where you can find them easily when required. </font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>2.
Manage your time</strong> - Prepare a proper schedule of your assignments
and activities that you are involved in. Make sure you have a good
timetable of things to be done on daily basis. Following such a
schedule helps you manage your time more effectively.</font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>3.
Reduce your spending </strong>– Spend a little extra time looking
for a good deal instead of buying an item the first time you see
it. For example, never buy textbooks from the campus bookstore.
Online stores, like www.ichapters.com, sell textbooks for much less.
One cool feature about iChapters is that you can buy textbooks by
the chapter in eBook form for those classes where the professor
only makes you buy the book for 1-2 chapters out of the 40+ in the
book. The money that you save will add up very fast!<img src="300x250_coursenote_news.jpg" width="300" height="250" hspace="10" vspace="10" align="left"></font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>4.
Attend your classes</strong> - Make a resolution to not only attend
all of your classes but also stay focused in them. As tempting as
it is to get on AIM or start playing games, don’t! It doesn’t do
you any good to go to class and then to not pay attention- you might
as well just have stayed at home and slept.</font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>5.
Get involved</strong> – Whether you are in high school or college,
there are many ways you can get involved around school. This could
be playing on the soccer team or joining a club that you are interested
in. There is usually a lot to do on college campuses, you just need
to look around a little bit to find activities that interest you.
</font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>6.
Find a mentor</strong> – Usually high schools and colleges have
a guidance counselor or advisor assigned to you as soon as you begin
school. However, sometimes your assigned advisor is not a ‘perfect’
match for you, to say the least. If you have a professor that you
like, try to get to know him or her better. Stop in for their office
hours, meet up with them for lunch, etc. Having a professor to use
as a reference when you are applying for jobs or research projects
will put you one step ahead of the competition. </font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>7.
Make use of technology</strong> - Stay up to date when working with
computers and use the internet to find out many interesting knowledge
based content, tutorials and other relevant study material which
you can share with others.</font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>8.
Get enough sleep</strong> – If you have no real reason to be up
till 3am, then go to sleep earlier. Save the all nighters for when
you actually need them. Getting at least 8 hours of rest is crucial
to being as productive as possible the next day. </font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>9.
Make good friends</strong> – Both high school and college can be
very stressful times during your life. If you have a good set of
friends to help you get through the rough spots and enjoy the good
times then you will look back on school with a much better attitude.</font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>10.
Plan for the future</strong> – Start writing down a list of things
you would like to do after college and what it would take to be
able to do these things. If you want to work for a certain company,
contact them and find out if the have any internships available
during the summer. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Here's
to you have a successful spring semester! Good luck everyone!<br>
