Studying
Time management - it's not just for grey old suits in an office, you know. Chances are if you can make it to your seminars and lectures (OK, most of them), meet essay deadlines, hold down a part-time job and fit in essential hours in the pub, you will leave uni with some well honed time management skills. If you find youself working through the night in a caffeine fuelled frenzy to get your uni work in on time, you may need to look at how you organise your time.
The key to being organised is knowing exactly what you've got to do - that means no last-minute surprises, like finding the info for tomorrow's essay screwed up in the bottom of your bag…
Short of using psychic powers or illegal means, you won't be able to predict exactly what will appear on your exam paper. However, you can go prepared.
No, you won't have to walk about uni with a big, fat 'L' branded on your forehead. Failing exams does not make you a loser - your situation is never as drastic as you first think.
