Starting Strong: Setting Smart Habits for Personal and Academic Success

The first week of classes can be overwhelming. Here are some stress management tips from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill that you can help you have a successful first week:
-
Manage your time: Planners, calendars, and task priority lists can be incredibly useful when it comes to managing your time. Go to this link and click “Informational Handouts and Worksheets” for time management resources designed specifically for UChicago students.
- Practice self care: Self care is extremely important for your mental health. Click here to see what the NIH has to say about self care.
-
Make SMART goals: SMART goals are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-bound. Check out this planning form to set some SMART goals for yourself!
-
Be kind to yourself: Adjusting at the beginning of the school year can be really difficult, so show yourself some compassion as you settle into a routine.
-
Make social connections: You can connect with the campus community through one of UChicago’s hundreds of RSOs, or through Student Wellness programs like Growing Together, Buddy Up, and Mindfulness Meditation.
