I go through all of my to-dos for the next few weeks and show you how you can intensively organise your life to have the best possible semester,

    0:27 Download and read the syllabi
    0:58 Look at the bibliography, ask professors what to expect, book recommendations, etc
    2:00 Prepare notebooks
    3:20 Create folders (digital): download pdf's, collect info, etc
    3:59 Prepare calendar: semester and class schedule (digital or analog as you see fit)
    4:34 Create back files of all your school related documents
    4:46 Bureaucratic stuff: social security, statutes, government paperwork boring but important stuff
    5:28 Planner organization: set up pages for classes - lists of teachers, project topics, etc
    5:53 Calculate class average ahead of time to gauge what grades you want and what you need to pass
    For all of you guys binging these awesome videos, here are the tips with the timestamps.
    You're welcome.

      I like to keep the syllbus in front of each subject, some teachers have different citation requirements. I write the due dates in my planner and put in notifications in my phone for the day before.

    I will forever be sad that my university doesn't provide us with syllabi or any kind of overview of classes before class starts other than vague module or learning outcomes, we don't even get recommended textbooks until we go back. It makes everything rushed and disorganised and scrambled during the first week and there's very little I can do before semester starts. God dammit Ireland!!!!!! 😭

    Whoaaaaa. I wish we were told what we will be taught in lectures... For most of them we only have like a 5-lines' resume. Or nothing at all but the title of the course. I don't even know what period we may study until the lectures begin... I don't know what to prepare before the semester (and well, we only got 3 days between exams and next semester, so...).

      Just for the fun...
      I had my exams this week. For some subjects we didn't know what type of exam (like, questions, essays, commentary...) we would have until we got the exam paper in our hands. Easy to prepare for, eh...

    The
    1) syllabus reading, bibliography books hunt,
    2) the folder making, planner part
