💭 Some WiSE Words…
As you prepare for the end of the spring semester, try to set up a study schedule as early as possible. This will help you get an idea of when your assignments and exams are in relation to each other and allow you to plan your studying time more effectively. Don't be afraid to reach out to academic coaches, peer advisors, or WiSE mentor for help with this planning!
