It is not too soon to start thinking about preparing for the end of the semester. Final exams are a stressful time for everyone! A bit of preparing before you reach finals week can be most helpful. The main thing to do is not panic! There is still ample time to get yourself prepared and to do great on these tests. Here are a few things to do over the next couple of weeks before the Thanksgiving holiday. more>>
Dr. Steven Bachrach
Class Marshal
This
is the month that things begin to even out; by now you’ve mastered the
balancing act between academics, recreation and your social life, right?! Well… we hope things are rolling along
smoothly for you, but if you need help don’t hesitate to seek assistance
through your professors, your mentors, the ResLife staff and all of the rest of
Trinity team here to support you, including us. November is also a month to
take time to give thanks for all that we have. If you’re looking for a service
opportunity, the Thanksgiving season is a busy time for organizations like the San Antonio Food
Bank.
Look for more information posted around campus for ways to take a break from
your academic demands and use a little of your free time to assist local
organizations to help others. more>>

You and Your High School
Boy/Girlfriend
Many first years arrive at
Trinity involved in a long-distance relationship with someone who is attending
another university or still in high school. If you and your
boy/girlfriend are trying to make it work over the miles, check out “10 Tips
for Long Distance Relationships.” While some couples
can make it work long distance, others cannot. And the breakup can be
tough. If you’re dealing with a breakup (or suspect you will be), check
out this
advice from the counseling center at Villanova University. To
learn more about how Trinity’s counseling center can help, visit our website.

head into the final six weeks of the semester, you may recognize the need to

etc., Counseling Services can help. We offer assistance online with
multiple links to resources designed to build academic skills. We also

Please consider purchasing a Tiger Taxi debit card (suggested amount - $25). This can't be spent
on other things, so students don't have to worry about ever being
stranded. In addition, students who may not want to spend their
discretionary money on a cab ride won't have to choose if they have a card. This
can help for emergency rides and to avoid potentially dangerous or awkward
situations. Click here.
