With the 2023 Spring Break coming to an end, hopefully Eastern’s student body will feel rested, energized, and filled with a new fervor to finish out the Spring semester.
However, with only 8 weeks in the 2022-23 school year, making sure grades are where they need to be to ensure scholarships and degrees are impertinent. Utilize your professors’ office hours and tutoring sessions in the Golden Student Success Center. The GSSC is open every single day, even on weekends until midnight. Your classmates can also be a tool for you to use. While it may seem pointless, studying with friends and classmates may be our greatest means to success. According to a study conducted in 2020, researcher Christy Lee Peterson found that “students participating in intentional, persistent small-groups had better course pass rates and consistently scored higher on unit exams and the final exam” than the students who studied alone. This seems reason enough to me to start group study sessions. But enjoy the rest of this semester. Enjoy your friends, enjoy your time, and work hard for the future you want.
