The Ultimate Survival Guide For Advertising Students

Do you have the jitters to start a new semester? Want to start off on a good note? Don't worry, you're not alone. Here are a few tips to help you get through the new semester a little easier!

Befriend Your Classmates

Most likely you’re already good friends with most of the people in the class. Nevertheless, networking is a key part of the advertising industry, so you should start expanding your connections now. Either way you could be acquainting yourself with a potential co-worker or making a lifelong friend!

Use Your Free Time Wisely

If you aren’t already, make use of a weekly planner. Get yourself organized and on top of assignments with a schedule. Those 2 hour long breaks? You can use at least half of the time to catch up on projects or readings. The earlier you start the less last minute crunching you’ll have to do. You’ll thank yourself later.  

Balance Studying, Social Life, and Work Commitments

It’s important to prioritize studies by giving yourself enough time to complete schoolwork. However, it’s equally important to relax and just take a deep breath. Don’t let stress take control of your life.

Get Involved On Campus

Make most of your time and tuition by joining a club or campus event. Getting involved can make you feel more comfortable on campus, add to your resume, and you can even meet some new people.

Ask For Help

Have unanswered lingering questions? You have many resources available to you whenever you need it! Whether you need academic assistance, financial advice or counselling, you can easily reach out to teachers, library staff, or the student support office who are all more than happy to help you succeed.

Stay Healthy

With a busy schedule, it can be difficult to remember that you need to take care of yourself. Some ways to stay healthy include:

•       Staying active (especially since the YMCA pass is included in your student tuition
•       Making nutritious snacks for school (great if you’re on a budget!)
•       Practicing meditation and relaxation techniques
