Finishing Strong

By: Julie Smith

This semester is quickly coming to end, maybe even faster for some of us than we want it to. Regardless of where you are at in your schooling, it is so important to finish the school year with a bang. Staying on a consistent and productive schedule will help to ease your transition from school to that summer job.

Sure, this abnormally beautiful weather has not really been conducive to productivity, but that is not to say it is not possible to stay on top of things. The nice thing about daylight savings is that we have more daylight. Try and get up early and do your work so that you can be guilt free later in the day and spend some quality time outside with friends.  You can also take your books and head outside. Your body will thank you for that Vitamin D exposure, and your grades will appreciate that extra study time you put in.

The most important thing to remember when your days are numbered is to take advantage of every opportunity. If you finish strong and productively, you will most likely find yourself having time to indulge in more time with friends and extra-curricular activities without stressing over getting everything done. Just remember to do everything in moderation and any fear of missing out you may come across will hopefully be able to be conquered.

For all of you Seniors out there- remember you are ending your legacy at Purdue in just a few short weeks. I think there is definitively something to be said and to be proud of for all of the hard work you have put in up to this point, so do not back off now! We are almost there!
