App of the week: Forest

Forest is an app helping you put down your phone and focus on what’s more important in your life. Whenever you want to focus on your work, plant a tree. In the next 30 mins, it will grow when you are working. The tree will be killed if you leave this app.

Welcome back!

I don’t know about you, but I can’t believe that we’re only already only already (???) two weeks into the school year!

Here at Bryn Mawr, I have no doubt that y’all are academic achievers, so after the craziness of the first two weeks (and with many more crazy weeks to come), I’m here to say: take a breather.

Yes, start the semester off on the right foot. Know your professors. Be on top of your work.

But also, take care of yourself and try to enjoy everything. It’s too early in the year to bury yourself in a pile of books! Don’t you know that this is the best time of year? Autumn is approaching, and the holiday season will come rolling in.

Take a look around. Check your email for Activities Digest. See what’s going on in the city with Facebook Events. (Pick up your free SEPTA ticket from Guild Lobby!)

You got this!

Just popping by with a quick reminder and word of encouragement (we’ve got enough readings and materials to study): We’re so close yet too far from summer. We’ve still got one week of classes and two weeks of finals. Don’t check out of the school year yet! These last few weeks will be critical, so finish it off strong!

End-Of-Year Checklist

end of year checklist v2

There’s A LOT going on at the end of the year. You might be feeling a bit in over your head. When I’m feeling like that, I like to write down everything in a list, so that when I look back to it, I realize: You know what? It’s not too bad.

Here’s a checklist I made of end-of-the-year to-do’s. Feel free to use it! Just click and save.
