After a month and a half of relaxation and fun, school is back in session. Everyone is dreading going back to waking up early and having to adjust to a strenuous schedule after a month and a half of relaxing and not worrying about responsibilities.

Going from "vacation mode" to back to "school mode" can be difficult for many people to adjust to. Especially if we didn't even have two months worth of a break, but there are many ways kick the back-to-school blues' butt and get back into the swing of things, so you can have an awesome semester.

1. Buy your textbooks

It may drain your wallet out a little bit, but if you rent on sites like Chegg or Campus Book Rental, you'll be saving a lot. Plus, you will be ahead of the game since you would already have your textbooks before the semester even starts.

2. Rekindle with friends

That period of time between when you and your friends move back in and the start of the semester is a great time to catch up and tell each other about your winter breaks.

3. Pick out your first-day-of-the-semester outfit

Like with the first day of the fall semester, everyone wants to look their best for the first day of the spring semester. Plus, it's a great time to try on that cute outfit your mom got you for Christmas.

4. Make a killer breakfast

A big, healthy breakfast will guarantee better grades and better focus in your classes.

5. Set new goals

While you probably already set goals for the new year, you still had two weeks of avoiding responsibilities and the such. A new semester can often be the best time to set goals and start working on them.

6. Start a reading list

Reading as much as you can when you have the free time, instead of spending endless hours on Facebook, is a great way to get the creative juices flowing and can help get your brain working throughout the semester.

7. Make a checklist

Planned to do something during winter break but never got around to it? No worries! Just make a checklist of all the things you want to do while there's still a little bit more winter break to squeeze out.

8. Plan something fun

While there's still a little bit of winter break left, you should plan something fun in order to beat the back-to-school depression that everyone's dreading.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
