Did you get enough sleep the night before?

Perhaps you are someone who is having trouble staying awake in class because either the professor is boring or your attention span just won't cooperate. Here are some tips and tricks to help you stay focused in class so that you are able to successfully obtain your degree.

Are you sleepy?
Did you get enough sleep the night before? Of course it's very easy to suggest that you should go to bed earlier, but with all these parties going on and with the Internet being so easily accessible, who needs sleep, right? If you have early classes, be sure to pick up a cup of coffee to bring to class. Having something to sip on (especially something with caffeine) will keep you up and going to take those notes!

Coffee can burn holes in your wallet if you are constantly going out to for a cup of joe, so consider brewing your own coffee at home! All you really need are some ground coffee beans and hot water. Get up and smell the coffee!

Are you unorganized?
The first step is admitting you are having trouble getting your stuff together. Now let's fix it!

What you need is a simple planner/agenda to remind yourself of what you need to do. Having a checklist/to-do list that you can constantly refer to will keep you motivated in your work.
