Homecoming week has finally come to a close and I can almost guarantee that students are exhausted. Personally, I went to every event my chapter had for the week and now I am dreading going back to classes Monday. Here are some tips that can help you recover quickly and get back to studying for midterms.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is a college student's best friend. After a week of barely any sleep, it is very easy to start to get sick. Vitamin C is found in orange juice and citrus, but Halls also makes good tasting Vitamin C drops that you can chew. The average person should be in-taking 75-90 milligrams of this vitamin daily and it will help you fight getting a cold.

Take a day to rest

If you have a day of no classes, take it as a time to take a nap and rest. Sleep is your best friend and if you have time, utilize it. It can help you stay mentally stable and also fight getting sick. You can still study and do homework, maybe just try to in bed for a day.

Go to sleep early

Along with what is said above, going to bed early and getting a full eight hours of sleep is essential to staying healthy. According to healthline.com, lack of sleep can lead to moodiness, memory problems, weakened immune system and extreme exhaustion. All these causes will hinder how you do in your classes. Homecoming week is so busy, so make sure the next few weeks you are getting plenty of sleep at night.

Get ahead on class work

If you have a slow day during the week, use it to get ahead in classes. This will make your weekend less stressful and with it being a by week, you won't have to worry about going to a football game. This weekend is planned perfectly so after one of the busiest weeks of the fall semester, you can take time to relax.

Fight your oncoming cold

As soon as you feel symptoms of a cold coming, start taking preventative measures. According to health.com, drink lots of water, take decongestion medicine and lightly exercise. Colds are also highly contagious the first few days, so try not to spread it to roommates and classmates by keeping your hands clean.
