Be an ultimate student! Be a survivor!! By Jessant Deblois

School most of the time make us feel like we are stuck in an island were we can only see is the sky, trees and the ocean. It feels like we are in the middle of nowhere, facing different challenges. Like looking for food and shelter, and in a school set up we’ve been dealing tons of challenges like passing anatomy and physiology, chemistry, and perhaps algebra. There are also projects to pass, pending quizzes which we are ought to study.- all these things is necessary to survive this semester. At times, we thought it’s impossible to get everything completed on time. But we suggest you to smile and relax. Because its POSSIBLE! We the Caduceus staff has tips on how to outsmart, outdo and outlive your professors and be the ultimate student!

Start with a plan
- now that another semester had started, we all miss those night outs, parties and happenings during semester break. But at this point! Move on! It’s time to forget those things and focus on your acads.

Preparing a timetable is very imperative step in ensuring that you are on the right track this semester. There may have been things that you want to do and explore more during your vacay like, playing this awesome computer game, teaching your friends how to play guitar and write poetries. Yeah, its fun to do but going back to school doesn’t mean that you have to concede these hobbies. With self-control, fortitude, and your astounding skills, you can still play the piano like your favorite pianist and still you can make it to the dean’s list.

Be sure that your schedule covers the whole day, from the time you get up on bet until the time you go to sleep at night. Make sure that you allot ample time for your timetable. And you also have to remember that you don’t have to overload yourself and your schedule should allow you to take breaks and have fun.

Use a scheme!
- want to be a scholar this semester? Do you have a strong feeling that you will be the new editor of your school paper? Or being part of a musical play? Well, that’s the spirit! Go for it!

The first thing you should do is to contemplate, anticipate on what it would take to reach your aspirations. You must classify your goals if it’s a long term or a short term goal and try to outline the things you have to do to achieve this. With this, you could easily identify the things that you need to give more attention to achieve your goal.

Form a group!
- get ready yourself for subjects you don’t enjoy by forming a study group with your awesome friends. (just imagine your group is a clan, the success of a member is the success of all.) Invite your close friend who flatter your strengths and helps you to work on your weaknesses. If you are not good in Anatomy and Physiology find someone who’s good at it.

Start working as a team so that you can fiddle with each other’s study habits. As a team set a goal collectively and then be each other’s support group. Stumble on different ways to enjoy your study sessions like playing games or giving sample quizzes to your teammates.

YOU RECEIVED AN AWARD!!!
-Repay yourselves! Even the coolest TV Show Survivor had a reward challenge for a job well done. Similarly, you should reward yourselves for all the hard work you’ve been incessantly putting in your studies.
After you and you’re teammates worked hard together, its now time to celebrate your triumph!
