Getting Ahead

Throughout the cycle it is so so important to take advantage of days off and building up a little extra cushion in case you miss a day or two. Since most of us have tomorrow off or remote it is prime time to get ahead on requirements and essays, especially since next week ALL requirements increase! If you're like me and dread writing essays, just know the hardest part is getting started! Getting ahead doesn't mean finishing EVERYTHING, maybe its just making an outline for an essay to build off another time, or doing an extra minute or two of something. Everything you do now, you don't have to do later! However, definitely be safe outside with black ice and I hope everyone can recover from being sick or injured soon! ~ Peyton
