End of semester burnout can be a common experience for many students, but there are some steps you can take to avoid it. ✨ Here are some tips:
1. Plan and Prioritize: Make a plan for the semester, including a schedule of assignments, deadlines, and exams. Prioritize your tasks and break them down into smaller, manageable steps to avoid feeling overwhelmed.
2. Take Breaks: It's important to take regular breaks to recharge and avoid mental exhaustion. You can take a short walk, do some stretching, or listen to music.
3. Practice Self-Care: Take care of your physical and mental health. Get enough sleep, exercise, eat healthy foods, and manage stress levels. Make time for activities that you enjoy, such as hobbies, spending time with friends, or watching a movie.
4. Manage your Time: Use your time wisely and avoid procrastination. Plan your work in advance, use a timer to stay focused, and avoid multitasking.
5. Seek Support: Talk to friends, family, or a counselor if you're feeling overwhelmed or stressed. You can also seek academic support from tutors or professors.
6. Celebrate Milestones: Celebrate your achievements and milestones along the way. Take time to recognize your hard work and progress, and reward yourself with something you enjoy.

Are Career Colleges Worth It?
Career colleges can depend on various factors, such as the quality of education, the reputation of the institution, the career prospects after graduation, and the cost of tuition.
Some career colleges can provide hands-on training, career-specific education, and industry connections that can be valuable for certain career paths. However, it is essential to thoroughly research the institution and its programs before enrolling to ensure that it will provide the necessary skills and education for your chosen career.
It is also important to consider the cost of tuition, as some career colleges can be quite expensive. You should weigh the potential benefits of the education against the cost to determine if it is worth the investment.
Overall, career colleges can be worth it for some individuals, but it is crucial to conduct proper research and carefully consider the costs and potential benefits before making a decision.
Big news on how families identify they don't feel informed on FAFSA application dates. They are missing out on opportunities to make college more affordable and leaving money on the table according to CNBC.
Feeling the application is too complicated or simply not knowing about it is frustrating to hear. Lots of resources are available and worth the effort.
Spread the word, FAFSA filing season opens Oct. 1!

“What is in your life’s Blueprint?
This is the most important and crucial period of your lives as a young person. I want to suggest some of the things that should be in your life’s blueprint:
1. Principle of somebody- a deep belief in your own dignity, your own worth. Your life has ultimate significance.
2. Determination to achieve excellence- Once you discover what it will be that you want to do set out to do it and do it well.
3. Commitment to eternal principles- Beauty, love and justice don’t allow anybody to pull you so low as to make you hate them or lose your self respect to the point that you do not struggle for justice.
You have a responsibility to seek and make your nation a better nation in which to live.”
- Martin Luther King Jr.
Delivered to students at Baratt Junior High School in Philadelphia on October 29, 1967.
