The nine student commandments to start the semester
5.8.2017
Translation: Eva Francis
A few good intentions for the start of the semester have never hurt anyone. Being the model student you are, you’re expected to follow every single one.
2. Thou shalt be on time for lectures
…or even a bit early. Lecture halls can be packed, especially for the main modules, and sitting on the staircase just isn’t that comfortable. Arrive a bit too early. I speak from experience.
3. Thou shalt stay awake during lectures
Coffee usually keeps you awake. And it carries you through the statistics lecture. Coffee is your best friend.
4. Thou shalt have your own stuff
Writing pads, textbooks and pencil cases are easily forgotten. Personally, I put pens and paper in the bags I used most.
5. Thou shalt not leave the lecture documents at home
Whether it's an old-school paper version or digitally on your laptop – your lecture notes will be 1000 times easier to understand if you write them straight on the professor’s presentation.
7. Thou shalt go easy on your budget
Bring a packed lunch. Eating out or buying lunch at the canteen every day is expensive.
8. Thou shalt meet deadlines
To make sure you don’t find out about deadlines a day before via your study group chat (yep, that’s happened to me), write down deadlines or pin your tasks to your memo board.
With this in mind, a good semester start to all students…and cheers!

The inspiration I get comes from blogs, magazines and travels. My favourite home living styles: Nautical, Scandinavian and Nordic.
