Do you find yourself dreaming of warmer weather? Checking the calendar for the countdown till spring break? Do you often catch yourself scrolling through pictures of tropical landscapes? If so, you may suffer from...

SPRING FEVER

Luckily, I can help you fix that.

1. Plan a short trip somewhere warm for late February or early March. This does NOT have to be for spring break. Just take an impromptu trip to visit a friend who goes to school in Florida, or that distant cousin in California. Find the cheapest and easiest way to escape for the weekend.

2. Find your inner fitness junkie and join a swim class or yoga class. A swim class will remind you of bikini season and warmer months ahead, a yoga class will soothe your mind and put you at ease. When you are feeling tension and anger at the world's climate, physical activity can really help.

3. Plan a week long spring break trip. Instead of staying home, save up money for a fantastic but relaxing spring break trip. Consider ditching the typical 'party' spring break plans, for a weekend at a spa in southern California. Trust me, it will be way more fun and about the same price.

4. Start planning your summer closet. This spring and summer is going to be a colorful and patterned season in the fashion world. Plan ahead and start stocking up -- don't even look at the rack of clearance sweaters.

5. Apply for a job that is outside this summer. So working isn't super fun, but if you have to work, you may as well work outside in the sun and warmth. This will give you a chance to soak up the beautiful weather before the school year again.

6. CLEAR OUT YOUR LIFE. Yes, spring clean. Call your mom/dad/grandma/grandpa and ask for their advice on how to de-clutter your room and life. No, you do not need that spring break shirt you won at a bar in Miami from Freshman year.

7. Go outside. Yes, the weather still sucks. On the small chance it doesn't one day, use that opportunity to take a 5 minute walk.

8. Try something new. From a new class or subject to reading a new book, this can leave you feeling accomplished and satisfied.

9. Branch out socially. You have like 200 people total in all your classes, try branching out and talking to someone new. No, your best friend doesn't count.

10. Focus in school. This will at least help you in your future and when you have to be an adult down the line. LOL.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
