Spring Break is a time of renewal and revitalization for every student, especially college students.

Hopefully, for most, midterm season passes without a hitch and the week before break goes as smoothly as it possibly can. And then, it's finally time to catch up on your Netflix binging and sleeping.

My Spring Break is officially over and I'm slowly getting back into the swing of things on campus. During break, I caught up on sleep, reading, got a job for the summertime, had more time for my daily devotional, and I spent much-needed time with family.

Coming back to campus this time was a bit more bittersweet than coming back from Winter Break. I certainly miss my dogs and my family, as well as being a bit overwhelmed by the influx of information reintroduced after break. But I can say, post-break life is totally worth it.

At this stage in the semester, we have to make sure we're keeping ourselves happy and healthy, because we're SO CLOSE to the end! We're so close to final grades, summer, and warmth!

Coming back from Spring Break is also awesome because there's the promise of spring to look forward to when everyone comes back out of hiding and you pass at least a dozen people in hammocks or catching some rays on the lawn!

I've always been one for warm and maximum amounts of sunshine, but it's also proven that getting more sunlight brightens your mood and you are overall happier during the warm months.

And I know, as college students, we could all use a bit of extra joy in the midst of our crazy, hectic, end-of-the-semester schedules!

In springtime, there's always something happening on almost all college campuses, it seems. Our bodies are in need of that activity and we're fresh out of the cold and snowy feels of winter. Therefore, it is time to get out and engage with others.

We may not be on a glorious break anymore, with no 8 a.m. classes or 10-page papers to write in a week, but we're right in the end stretch!

So:

1. Get up.

2. Make your bed.

3. Get a cup of coffee in your system.

4. And kick butt the rest of this semester!

YOU'VE GOT THIS!
