<\/p>\n
1. Clean Out Your Email<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\nTo explain, let me say something you might not like to admit: Clutter is bad. You can hoard items, digital <\/span>and<\/span><\/i> physical, tell yourself they have sentimental worth, but ultimately they impact your mental health and productivity. Take it from <\/span>Lifehacker and neurologists at Princeton<\/span><\/a>, \u201cexcess things in your surroundings can have a negative impact on your ability to focus and process information.\u201d So, if your inbox looks like 3487 unread messages, take a few days to sort through them. Archive everything from over a year ago, then work your way through the more recent and relevant information. Once school comes around, you\u2019ll be ready to address emails in a productive, stress-free manner. <\/span><\/p>\n2. Clean Out Your Closet<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\nGoing along with the whole anti-clutter sentiment, cleaning out your closet is another great idea before heading back to school. Not only will you get a chance to get organized, but now packing for college will be significantly more manageable! A great rule of thumb: If you haven\u2019t worn it in a year, get rid of it. Then donate the excess to a local charity and give yourself a high five.<\/span><\/p>\n3. Complete All School Paperwork\/Forms<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\nThe beginning of the year is meant for catching up with friends and easing into classes. The last thing you want to be doing is running around campus trying to fill out forms. This goes for financial aid, housing leases, allergen information, health insurance, employment forms–everything! Get it out of the way before move-in.<\/span><\/p>\n4. Set Goals for the Upcoming Year<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\nAs you fall deeper into your overwhelming course syllabi, it\u2019s easy to lose sight of the big picture. Take some time before classes start to reflect on what you want from your overall experience. Set <\/span>SMART goals<\/span><\/a>, not only for academics, but for mental health, spiritual practice, physical exercise, and relationships, as well. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n5. Buy Extra Hygiene Essentials<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\nSometimes you run out of the basics and don\u2019t have time to go out and buy more, particularly when a big exam is coming up. If you run out of deodorant, soap, or drop your toothbrush, but \u201cfree time\u201d isn\u2019t scheduled until the weekend, you\u2019ll wish you had a spare lying around. Stock up on a few extras before moving in, just in case!<\/span><\/p>\n6. Establish an Exercise Routine<\/a><\/b><\/span><\/h2>\nYes, exercise. I don\u2019t have to go over its physical and mental health benefits with you. It\u2019s fairly clear that exercise is only in your best interests. That\u2019s why you should start early, before the school year, to make a habit of working out. Once classes roll around, a good workout will seem like a more natural activity and like less of a chore.<\/span><\/p>\n7. Order Textbooks Early<\/a><\/b><\/span><\/h2>\nMany students will wait as long as they can without purchasing textbooks in an effort to save money, thinking they can make it through the course without ever buying them. But ordering your textbooks in advance can actually get you the best deals. Vendors raise prices around back-to-school season.<\/a> It\u2019s supply and demand. Ordering your textbooks beforehand\u00a0can be a great way around sky high prices. <\/span><\/p>\n8. Devote Time to Family and Friends<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\nGoing off to college means leaving some quality people behind, even if only for a while. Give everyone a proper goodbye and make them feel appreciated. <\/span><\/p>\n9. Clean Your Room<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\nThis one is less about clutter and more about being courteous. Although you\u2019re overeager to start your life in a new dorm, your family back home isn\u2019t moving anywhere. They still have to face your room and any mess you choose to leave behind.<\/p>\n
10. Plan a Budget for the School Year<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\nIt\u2019s easy to swipe a credit card without thinking twice. Take some time over the summer to figure out an appropriate budget for the school year (so you don\u2019t pile more debt onto your already-ominous student loans). You can also be mindful of your spending habits by taking advantage of student discounts<\/a>! <\/span><\/p>\n11. Research Your Major<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\nSaving the best for last, this is the\u00a0most important tip! Research everything your major entails. For instance, \u201ceconomics\u201d is an extremely broad and daunting term on its own. However, once you have an idea of what economics majors generally do, it isn\u2019t as scary. I recommend looking into specific fields you would like to pursue and getting better acquainted with your vocational possibilities. Then you can feel more purposeful throughout the year, as you know what you\u2019re working toward. Not to mention, when you have a clearer idea of what it is you want to do, you can join the appropriate extracurriculars to get your foot in the door of that field. <\/span><\/p>\n
