Wanna be a professional time murderer?

Hola~

How has your long weekend been? It's ending soon.

I know it sucks!!!
Some of you have fun, and some (including me) have a ton of HW

Well....this is school life. (I don't recommend you to express your stress like this rabbit)

Maybe you won't if you are a professional time murderer (even if you are, this happens sometimes too).

Here is my way to deal with time.

Let me know how it goes for you!

Kill It YEAHHHH!!!!!,

Ju-Ju

A BIG WELCOME TO YOU!

Hello Fellow Snow Lions!

On the behalf of the Snow Lion staff and Naropa University at large I want to welcome you! We've been preparing for your arrival all summer and we're excited to begin building community together!

If you aren't already able to access the internet at Snow Lion we have a guest login until you get your Student ID numbers and passwords at Orientation this week. You may have already found this information posted throughout the building, but just in case, and for redundancy's sake, I will post it below.

First thing you may want to know is our very first community meeting of the year is this Friday the 20th! It runs from 5-7pm in your very own courtyard. Yes, there will be food.

In whatever fashion is suitable to you (planner, post-it, google calendar, scrap, elephant) make note of the community meetings for the rest of the semester! They will all be held in the Student Center in the bottom of the Student Administrative building.

Community Meetings!
9/1
9/29

...WINTER BREAK! Not to jump too far ahead...

Also, we have a Snow Lion Council (SLC) this year for anyone interested in participating. If you want to be heard and you want to take part in affecting change in your community, please come make it happen. The SLC will meet in the Student Center as well on the following dates this semester:

9/22

With finals happening, I thought it would be helpful to give people some study tips. I did some interweb searching and found that studying in a dorm/apartment can be quite distracting! There's people wandering about, video games, yummy food to cook..(but do eat yummy food for fuel!), and studying on a bed may turn into an afternoon nap... So maybe study outside or in our fabulous library!

I found a website which was helpful. It suggested to:

1. Study in chunks, 20-60 minutes with lots of short breaks in between

2. Study in the daylight instead of during vampire hours

3. Pick out your 3 hardest classes and study for those every day

4. Ask yourself questions about the material constantly

5. Discuss key concepts with peers (Us Naropians have that one down)

What Gina finds super useful when jamming the brain full of facts:

1. Lots of snacks

2. Texting some friends about how intense this study session is

3. Call a Mom and complain

4. Play with the nearest animal

5. Find more snacks

6. Too much studying, must nap

7. Leave it up to the Universe and watch the Golden Girls

Anyway maybe don't listen to the latter set of suggestions so much! I'm sure everyone will do great! Good luck Sno Lowerzzzz! :D
