4 Tips To Help You Transition From Summer Break To Fall Semester

I am a fall kind of girl, through and through. I love the feeling of the cool air, the anticipation of the upcoming holidays, and being back into the routine of fall. But, it can be hard to transition from summer fun to the groove of the fall semester. Everything is so busy and intense. It is quite the switch from relaxing by the pool.

Here are some of the things I do in between transitioning from summer to fall that allow me to do it more seamlessly.

1. Take an online summer class.

This tip kills two birds with one stone. You get a credit out of the way and don't have a shock going back into fall. If you take a summer class online (preferred) or in person I find it is so much easier to get back into the swing of taking five classes and I do better during the fall semester academically.

2. Move-in early.

This tip is great if your housing situation allows for it. Moving in a few days early can change a lot. It gives you time to decorate, fill the fridge, get used to your new space, and feel less overwhelmed before the first day of classes. I really like to get to know my space and have it feel a little more homey before the stress of classes is upon us.

3. Make plans ahead of time.

if you're homesick easily like me, take the time during summer break to plan weekends that everyone will get together. I already have 4 weekends planned for my family to come see me and go to Disney. This helps relieve anxiety for me, because I know I get to see them soon, as well as stress of planning something last minute.

4. Don't over work yourself.

The first week of classes is a lot on its own. I try to do everything in the first week. get my nails done, do every workout class, get all of my books, etc. It is not good for me, stress wise, and then I get discouraged. Do what you can ahead of time, take care of yourself, and take a deep breath.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"
