| CSLF to Launch Parent College
Planning E-Tips |
| Beginning fall 2008,
the Connecticut Student Loan Foundation will be offering online
monthly college planning tips for parents. We will offer e-subscriptions
to parents of freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Each
edition will cover timely information targeted to parents of students
by grade level. For instance, junior parents will receive tips
on how to plan a college visit, advice on how to assist in the
college search, and reminders of when students should begin registering
for admissions tests. Parents of seniors will receive tips on how
to assist students with the college application process and information
on financial aid. This is an exciting new endeavor. Parents interested
in receiving this Parent College Planning E-Tips can sign up online
at www.cslf.com. |

| Time Management Tips |
- Make a "to-do" list every
day. Put the most important things at the top and get
them done first.
- Use spare minutes wisely. Get some reading
done on the bus!
- It's okay to say "No." If your boss
asks you to work on Thursday night and you have a test Friday
morning, realize that it's okay to say you cannot work that night.
- Find the right time. Figure out when you
do your best work. Does your brain handle math better in the
morning?
- Review your notes every day. You'll reinforce
what you've learned so you need less time to study. You'll also
be ready if your teacher calls on you or gives a pop quiz.
- Get a good night's sleep. Running on empty
makes the day seem longer and your tasks more difficult. Take
care of yourself!
- Communicate your schedule to others. Let your
friends know that you will be unavailable for a certain amount
of time each evening as you get your homework done. You KNOW
this will work!
- Don't waste time agonizing. Have you ever
wasted an entire evening worrying about something that you were
supposed to be doing? Instead of worrying, just DO it!
- Keep things in perspective. Set realistic
goals for yourself. Make them difficult but reachable!
