If you want to have a positive classroom experience, read this article carefully and understand how you need to prepare for your new classes.

session begins, write down all the dates that you know would be of great significance to you.

Take a good time to write all these important dates on your planner. It will help you in coordinating with everything and everyone around you.

3. Get new supplies

This is an exciting part for those who love shopping stationeries. Take a shopping trip to your favorite supply store and stock up all the items that you will need for this semester like notebooks, post-it-notes, pencils, pens, folders, files, clips, board pins etc.

4. Make space for everything

Now that you have bought all the essentials you need for your new classes, you have to find places for those bought items. Organize them at their appropriate places so that you can find them whenever you require them. You can follow any particular way of organizing. But here’s a certain way that will work for you.

How you can organize your stationery items?

Essentials on the top, notebooks not currently in use below it and the last shelf of the drawer can be reserved for the graded papers that you professors will pass you back. You can also use cheap clear plastic organizers to separate small items like washi tape, ribbons, post-it-notes, flash drivers etc.

5. Create an assignment schedule

Sometimes, professors don’t hand your syllabus until the first scheduled class. If you have not got your syllabus yet, you would have to wait until it is handed over to you. In case, you have received it, find all those important dates that you will mark on your planner or make note of them. Now you also know how many assignments you have to submit and when to submit them. You can try something new to organize your tasks and not to miss even a single deadline.

Here’s an effective way to organize your thoughts in the proper manner: assignment planner. Create an assignment schedule by including all those deadlines and subjects of assignments you will be required to complete.

6. Order textbooks

You can order textbooks as soon as you get registered for the classes. But at the same time, it is also advisable that you read the syllabus carefully and consult with the professors before spending any money on books. Sometimes what happens is the books your college tells you to buy is not very accurate or the professor personally decides not to use that book for their course. Either way, your money on the book is wasted.

It is further advised that you avoid buying from your university bookstore. Always rent from another site. It will help you save a big chunk of money in the future. If you are at a loss for ideas, BigWords can be used for renting books because they instantly compare tons of different bookstores to give you the best offer price.

7. Enter class dates

Now that you have organized all important dates and created an assignment schedule, it is time to organize all the important class dates in one spreadsheet. It is incredibly helpful if you have all in one place. The next task is to copy these dates into your day planner and your calendar.

Trust me it will come handy when you are planning an early morning doctor’s appointment or paper due tomorrow morning.

8. Become member of a support network

New classes can be an excellent opportunity to meet new people and begin new friendships. A support group cannot be formed without regular and constant contact with a variety of people. A solid networking group can help in exchanging scholarly opportunities that help you in personal growth.

You need to keep your eyes open to develop some connections. Schools have various types of supporting groups like sporting clubs, volunteer at community work, participation in play dates and many more.

9. Always stay alert and be attentive

An 8-hour sleep a day is essential. Proper rest is important to remain attentive in the classes you are about to attend. A healthy state of awareness always pushes you to focus on the lectures. Here are few health tips that you can practice:

Always eat breakfast and never skip a meal
