Distractions

Some students will feel torn as the holidays approach. While many look forward to going home for the holidays, others could be anxious or both. Everyone is very likely wondering how to handle mom and dad and rules that haven't been an issue for the last few months. Chances are, mom and dad are wondering the same thing! Remember to be respectful and treat others as you would like to be treated. If a new friend cannot travel home, perhaps you could consider extending an invitation or approaching family members about such an option next year.

Most importantly, don't let the holiday distraction take you away from your good study habits or keeping your appointments with an academic advisor or tutor.
