Only Up From Here! 

by T. York

​

​

The Mustang Boys Basketball fiercely defeated the opposition on Senior Night. They had their ups and downs losing their first two games of the season but through these losses they knew they had to lock in if they wanted to make a deep run in the tournament.

 

Their record was 8-17. They had an ok season and they could have been better but they still made the state tournament and that is something to celebrate. The boys won their last game against Newnan High School and secured a spot in the state tournament and the score was 52-48.

Top 5 Study Tips to Jumpstart Spring Semester

by: Chloe' Wright 

​

As the spring semester begins, it’s the perfect time to set new goals and become better.  Whether you’re aiming for better grades, improved time management, or a healthier balance between school and life, these top five study tips can help you stay on track and achieve your goals.

 

1. Set Clear Goals

Start the semester by identifying what you want to achieve academically and personally. Clear, realistic goals will give you direction and motivation.

Use the SMART criteria for goal-setting: ensure your goals are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. For example, aim to improve your GPA by dedicating two extra study hours per week for each class.

​

2. Create a Study Schedule

Time management is crucial to academic success. Plan your study sessions in advance by creating a weekly schedule that includes:

  • Class times

  • Study blocks for each subject

  • Breaks and downtime

  • Extracurricular activities or part-time work

Stick to your schedule to build consistency. Use tools like Google Calendar or apps like Todoist to stay organized and receive reminders.

​

3. Get a Study Nook 

Find a cool and relaxing place with minimal distractions. Keep essential materials like textbooks, notebooks, and stationery within reach. If background noise is an issue, consider using noise-canceling headphones or listening to instrumental music. A well-lit and tidy workspace can also boost your focus and productivity.

​

4. Find Study Techniques

Find a technique that works for you. You might need repetition, or an organized notetaking system. 

  • Summarizing key concepts in your own words and put it in your own system. 

  • Creating flashcards for quick review

  • Review your Cornell Notes and quiz yourself! 

​

5. Take Care of Your Well-Being

Your physical and mental health directly impact your ability to study effectively. Prioritize self-care by:

  • Getting 7-9 hours of sleep each night

  • Eating balanced meals and staying hydrated

  • Exercising regularly to reduce stress

  • ​

Bonus Tip: Seek Help When Needed

Don’t hesitate to ask for help if you’re struggling. Good Luck and have an amazing semester!
