The third quarter of the school year is finished, there are only 2 months until the end of the school year. Students are beginning to get excited about summertime and relaxing, however this is when students need to put in a little extra effort. Many students begin to slack off toward the end of the school year because it has a more relaxed tone than the beginning of the year, however the end of the semester approaches faster than you may think.

Now is the time to start pulling your grades up if you want to finish the semester with good grades. It takes a little work and dedication, but it is completely worth it and doable. By striving for good grades, you bring your education into your own hands, and decide how you will utilize what you have learned throughout the year. It can be stressful to think about the end of the school year, especially if you are a senior. 

It doesn’t have to be stressful. There are ways to prevent the end of the year from sneaking up on you, one of which is keeping a calendar. A calendar allows you to schedule your day in a visual way and can provide a lot of structure for students. By working toward your academic goals now, you can achieve them by the end of this semester!
