As we approach "Week Seven" of what seem too far away to come, it comes as no surprise the holiday weekend is much appreciated. As it seems we CSU students SHOULD have had last Monday off, you take what you can get, right? Since you have an extra off of school, and (hopefully) work, there are a few things you can do over the course of this weekend to refresh before jumping back into the weekly grind:

1. Try a new coffee shop, order something a little risqué
2. Clean your room, and start the week with a fresh sense of organization and cleanliness. Much like your attire, your surroundings can influence your mental state.
3. Read a book, dare I say, for fun! I recently resuscitated my beloved Kindle and found novels I had forgotten that existed.
4. Attempt to get some exercise in! I took the sunny day as an opportunity for a good walk through the neighborhood.
5. Get homework and other obligation done before Monday, so there are pressing things taking up your mental space – making the holiday enjoyable, as opposed to making it another day to delay.
6. File taxes!
7. Finish FAFSA, if you already have not done so for the following school year.
8. Assess finances, make necessary changes.
