If you continue to work and sîîîdy hard, ive are more than 100% positive thai the nes. semester wil not be as bad. If you chose to slack off and not sîudy. yosî wîll contittue to, do poorly. As lune as you keep up wîth the daîly honîework and fully understand every tesson. there is no excuse us to why you should be doîng poorly. As thse years go on, the precon- ceixed notion is tîtat as youa gel into higher grades. t gets harder and harder. This is not entirely true. There ts more work to be done. and more compltcated thtngs to leamn. but if you get tnto the habit of study- ing and doing homework daîly than there is a greater chance thai you may do well in that course.?This may be a problem for those of you thai also hase a partitme job. Ail of 'tour Inside Sources are workîng hard ta eamn mone tor aniversity. and this also plays a factor in a students' stress level. ihese days, having money ancd heing able to spend it is very important. The media ta a big inîfluence ta thîs. Beîng able ta bay and wear designer brands makes a person "cool" as everyone around titem is doing the same. Ftnding a wayt to eam maoney, balance fumily and frtends, and dm0o go to sehool are hage responsibilîties laid onto students these days.
