" As I am typing this blog, I&amp;#039;m in the library (more specifically our awesome Harry Potter room) and I really should be working on my Theology paper. In high school, I was what you would call a &amp;quot;serial procrastinator&amp;quot;--I didn&amp;#039;t know how to write a paper or start studying for an exam until about 11 the night before. But that does NOT fly here in college! (Believe me, I&amp;#039;ve tried!) Here are some tips for those of you out there who are worried about handling the college workload, based on what I&amp;#039;ve learned so far this semester:  1) The library--it&amp;#039;s a necessity, for me especially. It&amp;#039;s a psychological thing; you associate your room with sleep and hanging out, so it&amp;#039;s really hard to get into homework/studying. Plus, in the library, you are surrounded by people who are working, which I know motivates me.  2) Get a friend to change your Facebook password! I&amp;#039;ve done this for both my roommates and I&amp;#039;m probably going to have them do it for me soon! There is an initial withdrawal, but anyone can do it. And if you have something to do that doesn&amp;#039;t require the internet, turn the Wi-Fi off or unplug that Ethernet cord! It&amp;#039;s for your own good, I promise. 3) Reward yourself! You will lose your mind if you do nothing but study, so give yourself a hot chocolate, some gummy worms or whatever after you do &amp;#039;X&amp;#039; amount of pages or &amp;#039;Y&amp;#039; hours of studying. Works for me! I&amp;#039;m not going to sit here and tell you that studying for endless hours during the holiday season isn&amp;#039;t hard, because it is. But just remember that you will never regret working too hard, but you will always regret not working hard enough. You can do it! &amp;amp;lt;3, Jessica "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
