Step 1: Get as much sleep as possible the first few days before
Sleep is such a big component to surviving this week. You need to get a good nights sleep a few days prior to these events that way you will be well prepared. It is a necessity other wise you will get sick and you will just over all hate your existence.
Step 2: Coffee
This step is absolutely essential. Coffee will keep your morale up. It will boost your spirit, it will make you happier overall and it will just make you well prepared for the day. Most times I drink 2-3 cups of coffee a day, but during this week, I drank 3-5 cups a day. It really helped me out because it tasted delicious and I was more awake then ever getting ready for this experience.
Step 3: Drink Emergen-C packs
These will come in handy, you have no idea. They will save you once you're starting to feel sick. It will help boost your immune system so that will prevent you from getting more sick. It will help you out in the long run so even if you aren't feeling sick, I recommend taking some.
Step 4: Getting ahead in your school work
You will get so much homework the week of recruitment so I suggest asking your teachers if you could get your homework a few days before hand. Most times your teachers will help you, but sometimes they won't be so nice. Just try and get your work done other wise that next week it will feel like you were hit by a truck load of school.
Step 5: Hydrate
ALWAYS HAVE WATER BY YOU! It will save your voice before you start to loose it. Your voice will start to get scratchy just from lack of sleep, talking so much, etc. It will be your saving grace at the end of the week.
I highly suggest all of these steps because these will help you have a successful, stress free and healthy recruitment week!
