With Winter Break and Martin Luther King Jr. Day over, the next break for college students is Spring Break, which can seem so far away with the semester having just started, and there is no break until the middle of the semester. Here are some tips to help you survive until spring break rolls around.

1. Get Enough Sleep

During Spring Semester, there's aren't long weekends to devote to catching up on sleep, so it's important to actually go to bed at a normal time throughout the week in order to not constantly be tired.

2. Don't Procrastinate

There's no time to make up assignments, and once you get behind, you're going to just barely be able to keep afloat for the semester. Again, you can't just put off the things that you need to do until later when there's no break in sight.

3. Make Plans

If you make plans for spring break or other times throughout the semester, then you have something to look forward to when trying to find motivation to write your third paper of the week.

4. Spend Time With Friends

It's important to take time away from school, especially to avoid burnout. Being tired of school for the whole semester makes it seem like spring break will never come.

5. Reward Yourself

It's important to recognize that in college, one of the most important things to do is to not get only caught up in working on things for college. Somedays you really just need to reward yourself for making it this far, whether it be taking a nap or going shopping.

6. Take Care of Yourself

Your health, both physical and mental, is super important. Doing what you can to stay healthy is important, even if it means taking a mental health day. Doing what you need to take care of yourself isn't something that should be put off until school is done for the semester.

7. Organize Yourself

Write things down, plan things out; don't just put it off and wing it for a couple months. I know that if I don't write things down, then I know that I won't remember that I have to do something. Especially when it gets closer to spring break, and you mentally check out, it's going to be a good thing that you already write things down because that should save you from yourself.

8. Keep Your Space Clean

When living in a space that isn't cleaned or organized, it's hard to feel comfortable. It's important to make sure that the things that you're maintaining control over your life as much as possible. It's important to be able to come home and be comfortable and feel that your life is in order outside of classes.

9. Set yourself up for success

Since it's only the second week of the semester, you have to make sure that the rest of the semester doesn't go by the wayside because you can't wait for spring break to come. Don't give up, you can make it!

10. Don't Forget that it's Closer than it Seems

Even though it's crazy to think about, the end of the semester will be here sooner than you think, and therefore spring break is closer than you think. You just have to make it about a month longer.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
