  • The Final Stretch

    The Final Stretch

    It’s May, which means you are entering the home stretch in school. If you’re in college or university, final exam time is upon you. For students in secondary school, you will be gearing up for your exams, papers and all of the final projects that will come due shortly.

    Naturally, all of this activity can lead to stress. We’ve got all the tips and tricks you need to help you manage the workload – and still have a life. Check out the great articles in our Student Life section, and search further under the “Health” tag to find ways to keep everything in order, mentally and emotionally.

    ‘Tis the season for scholarship applications, and this month we have a treasure trove of great scholarships and bursaries you can apply for to help fund your education. Remember, there is – literally – a scholarship out there for everyone. All you have to do is take the time to apply!

    Our Community section is packed with advice for students with learning disabilities on how they can best manage the transition into university life. There is a wealth of resources available to help you get the best start in your post-secondary adventures.

    Finally, since it IS May, don’t forget to get outside and grab some fresh air. It will do wonders to calm your mind and relieve stress naturally.

    Have a great month!

  • The Home Stretch

    The Home Stretch

    You’ve almost completed another year of school. That is a huge accomplishment – one that you should be immensely proud of! Now that you’re in the home stretch, you need to keep your mind and body in shape to finish off strong. As always, JobsPeopleDo.com has a plethora of articles that help you with everything from your health (drinking water helps to cure headaches – who knew?) to studying tips to keep you powering through your final exams.

    As the weather is finally taking a turn for the better, getting outside for a little fun in the sun will not only better your mood, but it will help you to concentrate over the next few weeks. With the stress of exams and, for some of you, graduation, it’s important to invest in some “me time”. By being outside and soaking up the vitamin D and getting some fresh air, you’re helping to keep your mind and body sharp. Of course, it goes without saying that you should slap on a little sunscreen before heading out for a long day outdoors (thanks, mom).

    The school year is winding down, but JobsPeopleDo.com is going strong. In addition to our editorial pieces from our fabulous writers, we’ve rounded up the latest and greatest scholarships that you can apply for to help fund your university dreams.

    Don’t forget to follow us on Twitter @JobsPeopleDo for advice and fun stuff you won’t find anywhere else.

    Have a great May!
