6 Ways To Crush The Spring Break Slump

We're not done just yet!

Mar 27, 2017

Spring break is over and we are back to reality. Back to school, homework, tests, papers, work, and all the stress that goes with it! The weather is (slowly) getting warmer and all we crave is summer. Oh glorious summer! However, we have six weeks left of school and if you are anything like me, you are over it! You have no motivation! You can't focus! You stress over the growing list of things to do but stressfully continue to watch Netflix anyway. How can we possibly get through the next six weeks? I'm here to help you out!

1. Look up study/note taking videos or Instagram accounts!

This sounds strange I know! I felt weird typing those words into the search box on YouTube when I first did it! The purpose behind this is that if you watch videos of people working on school work or hear them talking about how they take notes it might motivate you to get your own work done! You may find ways on Instagram or Pinterest to spruce up your notes and it will keep you focused on shrinking that monster of a to do list!

2. Don't over work yourself!

In the small chance that you get a crazy burst of energy, do not study for eight hours straight! It is recommended that you set a timer for 45 minutes to an hour. During this time you study/work on a task and once the timer goes off, you take a break. Now take a break with caution! Don't take longer than 20 minutes because your chances of going back to work will start to lower. But continue this pattern until you are done or need to stop!

3. Keep track of your planner!

Keep up with your planner! Do not let due dates get away from you! I know you don't want to do anything and neither do I but if you don't keep up with upcoming tests and assignments you are only asking for more stress and more procrastination.

4. Put motivational quotes EVERYWHERE!

Put them on post it notes! Put them as your phone and computer background! Randomly search them! We are digging into the reserves of motivation here! We have to do what we have to do to get stuff done! Go through and find your favorite or just google motivational quotes and scroll through them for a couple minutes if you are really struggling!

5. Spend some time with friends!

Sometimes having a pity party works! You and all of your friends are in the same boat! Go out to eat! Complain! Vent! Don't close yourself off because of your lack of motivation or stress! Friends help! Use them, in a good way!

6. Put your hair up in a bun and deal with it!

One of my favorite quotes! I may relate to this because I cannot work on anything when my hair is down! I don't know why, I am a weird human. But it is the truth! In the literal sense when I put my hair up I am preparing to get down to business and knock out this assignment! Sometimes all you need is a simple reminder that all you need to do is put that hair up and get it done!

I hope this helps get you through the next six weeks! I believe y'all can do it! We can do it! Remember caffeine is your best friend, unless you are a migraine sufferer like I am! Go forth and prosper!

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

University of Kentucky

pointsincase.com

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

The struggles of having an RBF are all too real

1. People asking if you're mad at them.

2. Those people who hand out flyers don't always try to stop you.

3. Creepy guys telling you to smile.

4. "I thought you were a bitch when I first met you."

5. People telling you you'd be "so much prettier if you smiled."

6. Doing your makeup and looking great, which somehow intensifies the bitch face.

7. Regularly explaining "it's just my face."

We all go through certain stages when we have a crush, Tina just explains it better.

That moment that someone you never looked twice at suddenly makes you do a double take out of no where.

But you can't have a crush, that's outrageous. It's all in your head.

Because you don't have a crush, there's no reason to tell anyone about anything. Right?

But then they do something irresistible and you start to lose it.

Now accepting the fact you have a crush, you have to keep it under control.

Then there's the part where you tell your friends who will claim they called it.

They'll be excited and cheer you on. That's until they realize that your crush is all you'll be talking about.

Your obsession has become so bad, that your Facebook stalking is getting out of control.

But your friends will try and help move things along any way they can. That doesn't mean it will be any helpful though.

As time goes on, you start having fantasies about the two of you and it's starting to scare you a little.

You can't focus on anything because all your attention is on them and everything they do.

Anybody who comes near your crush is now an enemy, and you are willing to fight for your crush.

When you see them, you act like an idiot. Trying to hide your feelings may not be as discrete as you think.

Keeping your feelings inside will start to be harder and harder until you can't keep it inside anymore.

Who knows, maybe it will work out? Take a chance.

Everybody hurts sometimes.

May the odds be ever in your favor.

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

1. You feel like an elder.

2. You may feel lonely.

3. Senioritis is more real than ever.

4. You may feel a little down sometimes.

5. Fear of missing out won't be as real.

6. You are a college pro.

7. You'll have more free time.

8. You're happy you're still in school.

9. You feel like a guru.

10. You continue to grow.
