The 4th Quarter

Helloooo everybody,

First of all, I hope everybody had a safe and happy spring break. I enjoyed mine by sleeping on my basement couch all day and getting some much needed R&R. Good thing my goal wasnt to have a perfect NCAA bracket because this year there are more X's on a piece of paper than Justin Biebers first record contract.


So here we go, the time after spring break. For all the freshmen in the class (a good amount) this time of the year is what I call the 4th quarter. Any of the older students can agree with me that these last 8 or so weeks are crucial. Not only are finals around the block, but the weather is warmer and beach season is here. We as students must stick to our academics as goals. While the beach and fun times in the warm weather ARE good, we cant be distracted to them too much. My one advice to the younger students is to start getting ready for finals now because the sooner you do it, the better off you will be and the more spare time/ less stress you will have.

I am writing about the 4th quarter because I see it as a crucial time for me to achieve me goal. I know if I stick to these behaviors, my overall goal can be achieved despite the distractions and the quick timetable presented. After break and not looking at any of my books (because that is what break is for me after all) Im refreshed and ready to take on these last couple weeks. I encourage to do all the same! Were almost to summer and once we get there, with our goals achieved, our vacation will come with a great start!
