For most students, I think, the holiday season brings one favorite gift – Winter Break! Of course, while the academic world observes an extended term of R&R, the company I still work for keeps trekking forward. Regardless, it’s been a welcome change to have my evenings & weekends free after surviving the ‘FINALS’ season. I’ve adopted a few survival tips that have really helped the scholastic side of my work life: 1) Use the study guide, 2) Skip procrastination, and most importantly 3) Befriend classmates. This last activity has proved to be most beneficial because of the increased number of ’help resources’ for my struggles with difficult concepts or assignments. Each classmate brings different strengths, and drawing on the knowledge of others has greatly accelerated my learning. Besides, I needed those friends to celebrate with at BW3′s after we all finished. I feel good; another semester over, quite a bit more knowledge gained, and stronger bonds made with my colleagues. Looking forward to next semester!
