3 Tips On How To Conquer Fall Break

Don't let it fool you.

Oct 05, 2015

Thursday of this week begins fall break for NC State students, but don't let it fool you; fall break gives you a taste of Thanksgiving and Christmas break, but doesn't last long enough to really enjoy. Here are some tips on how to not let fall break get you out of your school flow.

1. Make a list of what you have to do when you get back.

Don't let this list stress you out, just let it be a reminder that this vacation is not a long one, but a brief paradise from college.

2. Come back to college at a decent time.

While everyone loves being home and getting free meals, don't stay home for dinner on Sunday night. The later you get back, the later you work on the list you have, and the less likely you are to go to class on Monday.

3. Get some work done during fall break.

I know, it sucks, but just putting in a little work here and there will make your transition less stressful and easier some Sunday.

These may seem like three obvious steps, but keeping them in mind will help you enjoy fall break, and not come back and take on all the stress you pushed off during those four short days.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:
