The last two weeks before spring break may be some of the toughest weeks of the year. The first tests in all your classes get piled on while you just look down the road to that beach vacation. College is not easy. I think everyone will agree to that, and that week-long break in the middle is honestly the only way we survive. Even if that beach vacation is not in your cards, cause lets face it we are college kids, that week off school is heavenly. Keeping your head in the game is hard, but here are some great tips.

1. The library is your best friend

Now I am not saying to spend every waking second in the library because that would be torture. Being in the library, at least for me, is a great way to stay focused. Now there is always a time to get sidetracked and watched 3 episodes of NCIS, but the library atmosphere does help to condone studying. You are surrounded by other hardworking students so it helps to influence you to stay focused.

2. Go to the gym

The closer we get to spring break the more we do not want to do any homework or quizzes. Well instead of spending all that time in front of the tv might as well get that spring break body. It allows you to spend time doing something productive without wasting your time. It also helps you to look great once that beach trip rolls around.

3. Set a Countdown

14 days and 12 days are very different.

4. Go to Every Class

Make a pact with yourself that you will attend every class from here to break. This will keep you in the loop of things that are due and make you think about school work. It will remind you that you still have 14 days of the real world left.

5. Don't Go to Parties

I know it sounds awful, but you will have enough fun on spring break. That is the whole purpose. These next two weeks just try to focus on making it through all your homework and packing. This will make your liver happy also because it is going to hate you after spring break.
