  • Sleep enough. You know your body, but your brain needs to rest as well to be concentrated is very important to sleep enough. We understand you are in a new place and there are a lot of tempting places to go out, but health is first, welcome to the adult life!
  • Take the right food to keep your blood sugar and high levels of energy. Eat your fruits a and vegetables and try to cook as much as you can. You will save money and your body will thank you as well.
  • Exercise daily, even if it means to walk instead of taking a metro if you don’t like to go to the gym. Move!
  • Have a life after or a hobby to disconnect not just arriving home, watch TV have dinner and go to sleep. Such a sad life!!
  • Part of your Program is cultural exchange so as your time is limited try to know as many places as you can and enrich yourself with the beauty of the U.S.
  • Coffee, tea…for some people is working, for some not…but in case of doubt…grab one
  • Go for a walk. It doesn’t matter how long you are sitting if you are productive. To optimize your time rest if you need it, have a walk, you are not a machine
  • If you are sick, stay home. You will spread your colleagues; your sickness will be longer and will be counterproductive
  • Never stop studying! The information is power, you will have more ideas and feeling more secure at work
  • Keep a good communication with your colleagues and boss to avoid misunderstandings.
