Spring break has come and gone and here we are-- back at school with about a month left until summer vacation. You’re probably thinking, “How on earth will I survive until then?” but if you follow these easy steps, summer will be here in no time.
1. Go to events on campus.
Get yourself more involved in the community. Go to events and socialize with people within your classes. This will help keep you in the swing of things along with getting you excited for your future.
2. Actively use a calendar/planner.
Use a planner! Keeping yourself organized with to-do lists will lessen your desire to procrastinate and heighten your desire to get everything over with.
3. Use the nice weather as motivation.
Trust me, I understand how tough it can be to go to class when the weather is nice – but use that nice weather as motivation to push through. The sooner you survive the semester, the sooner the nice weather will be yours to explore and enjoy.
4. Help yourself.
Don’t be afraid to nap and recharge! It’s OK to take a break. Take a night off if you can. Do a face mask and open your window and clean your room and drink some coffee. Take some time to breathe.
5. Use the rest of your excused absences to your advantage.
(That is if you have any left). Use this time to catch up on assignments you may have fallen behind on or to get ahead on your end-of-the-semester assignments.
I know this next month is going to be really tough to get through, but I promise that you will get through it. Just use these tips to your advantage, keep pushing, and don’t give up!
