Starting off the school year right

As I am now entering my fourth and final year at Stevens, I am filled with so many different emotions. Through my panicking for my final year, excitement to see friends again, and eagerness to learn new things, I wanted to take a step back and really be able to record my final year and share with others all of my tips and tricks I’ve found along the way for being  successful as a student at Stevens.

Getting ready for finals season

It’s hard to believe that the semester is almost over, and unfortunately, with the anticipated (and much-needed) upcoming break comes the final haul of final exams.

[Trying to] be sustainable as a college student

Being a college student can make it difficult to lead a waste-free life for many different reasons. I always try to live environmentally cautiously, but it can be difficult at times.

Spring break

With the craziness of last week and the stress of midterms and exams this week, it’s crazy to think that spring break is right around the corner.

Learning to ask for help

I always like to write an article like this around this point in the semester as almost everything has picked up, and—for me at least—stress levels are high and the motivation to fight burnout is low.

My favorite college investment

Before I had actually given it some real thought, I thought that buying an iPad would mean spilling, like, $1,000 on a glorified Kindle.

Back again

While my winter break wasn’t entirely restful (especially considering my last final was over at 4 p.m. on December 22), I really cherished all the moments I was able to spend without having a pile of work to do.

Trying to avoid burnout

We’re at a weird point in the semester. Midterms are over, but finals still feel kind of far away, so we just feel tired.

The thing about textbooks

I’ve been meaning to write a piece on this topic for quite some time now. I have a pretty strong opinion when it comes to the topic of textbooks, so if you ever find yourself on the fence about buying a textbook, maybe my trial and error will help you out.

Midterms are here but don’t fear

It’s hard to believe that midterms are right around the corner. I don’t know about you, but it feels like we only just had our first full week of classes.
