5 Ways To Stay On Track After Spring Break

In This Article:

The slight tease of summer is unfortunately brought upon us around this time during the college semester. Our week is filled with Netflix binges and relaxing boat days. Some of us even slept the whole time (there's no shame in that either). Spring Break can come and go in a second, seizing our motivation to get back into our daily routine. Classes, work, and extra activities can soon become a bore when the warmth of summer is on your mind. If you have succumbed to the spring break blues, then have no fear! Here are some ways to get back on track and end your spring semester with a bang.

1. Start Planning

2. HYDRATE

Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with.
