Now students, we all know that it's that time again … Time to be students first again. With that we must know that our academics are our first priority. We must take responsibility for the importance of our education by going to class, completing our assignments, turning them in on time and participating in class activities and discussion. Something that has always been helpful is the "4321" plan. It stands for:

4- 4 Years to graduate

3- 3.0 GPA or higher

2- 2 hours to study for every one hour of class

1- Get involved with one organization or activity

This plan has always helped me in my college career, and I am sure it will be very beneficial for you all. Also remember to make some time for yourself. Don't allow yourself to get too overworked. Make sure you take breaks and spend some "me" time. Go see a movie or treat yourself to dinner. Remember, you deserve it. You have been working very hard!

I hope you enjoy your school year. I know it will be wonderful because you are at the best school ever! I wish you nothing but success and I hope you have a wonderful year. If you ever have questions please feel free to contact me at 650-3821 or e-mail me at dmajors@siue.edu. I am here for you! You can also stop by my office in the Kimmel Leadership Center. Remember, Student Government is the place where voices are heard and action is taken. Have a great year!
