Cold mornings are hard.

Getting out of bed gets harder and harder during the winter months, and going to morning classes on time is sometimes even harder. With winter comes colds, the flu and coughs, so make sure that you look after your health by exercising, eating good foods, and not being too stressed. Wear layers to class, that way you can simply take them off when it gets too warm.

Many students decide to take on part time or casual work to gain spending money, rent money or to save for next tuition payment. Sometimes it is smooth sailing and sometimes it is the hardest thing in the world, but any way that you look at it, being a student juggling as many as four different courses, paying rent for a place to live, buying food, completing assignments, preparing for exams, working and socialising can be hard.

Finding a balance between all these can be hard and frustrating. When I get frustrated I loose concentration and fall behind in my coursework as well as skipping classes, which means I usually leave my assignments and exam prep to the very last minute.

Just remember Murphy's Law: Anything that can go wrong will go wrong at the last minute....
