Financial Survival Tips from ASP


Dont go grocery -shopping when youre hungry Start with a simple but clear budget. Having a budget = more chance youll stick to a budget! Avoid impulsebuying (do you really need a $200 hipster backpack from Nordstrom?)

How to Plan a Productive Study Session


Use daylight hours
Research shows that 60 minutes of studying during the day is as productive as 90 minutes of studying at night.

Nice and Chunky


Divide your workload into chunks and plot out brief timeslots to accomplish manageable tasks. This is less daunting than 7-hour stretches that cause burnout.

Be a Professional Student
Treat your schoolwork like a 9-5 job. When you get everything done during the day, youre FREE on nights and weekends! WOO WOO!

Your I Can is more important than your IQ. ~ Robin Sharma

Nervous About a Test?


Get 8 hours asleep BEFORE the exam. Dont cram 10 chapters in one hour, put timemanager on your resume. Dont think about the grade while you are taking the test. Take it easy on yourself.

Youre not alone! Free tutoring is available to help. See the TutorTrac app on your Hofstra Portal!
