Once again, you will enter a new semester. Another clean slate will be made available. And once again, you will be left to decide whether or not you actually want to be proud of yourself by the end of March 2012. You know what you want. All you have to do is strive to make your dream a reality. It’s easier said than done, but it isn’t impossible.

Use your time wisely. I know how distracting social networking can be. I know how hard it is to stay away from Facebook because it is a extremely effective medium for communicating with your classmates, orgmates, and friends; however, you must find the strength to resist it. You know how much time surfing the net “just for fun” eats up. Also, learn how to balance your social life and academic life. It is possible to have both. 

Stay hungry. (Got this from Steve Jobs’ speech!) Don’t be afraid to learn even if people tell you your professors are out to kill you. As long as you learn as much as possible, you have done your part.

Take care of yourself. Getting sick is a real pain in the ass when you’re in college. Enough said.

Kindly keep these things in mind for the next five months. I know you can redeem yourself.
