The pina coladas have come and gone, the homework you didn't do over break has piled up, and the due date is approaching. You know what that means. Spring Break has ended. Whether you went somewhere exotic or just went home to hang out with your parents and pets, it's still sad that Spring Break has come to a close. You might think you're in the home stretch to summer, and for seniors maybe you are, but there are still at least five weeks of school left, and it's tempting to slack off.
With the weather getting nicer every day, the urge to play hooky from class is strong. You might even use those last two skips you were reserving for sick days. Aside from the few days off of school you get for Easter, if you're lucky, there aren't any more breaks until finals. That makes having spring fever just a bit more tricky.
Get your homework done early in the week because once Thursday hits, you won't want to do any of it. In order to resist ditching class to hang out outside on a nice day, have a study session outdoors to soak up that sunshine. The end is in sight, but finishing the school year strong is just as important. For me, the next month will be an accumulation of projects and tests as I'm sure it is for a lot of students. We're so close, so don't give up yet. Wanting to throw in the towel happens every day, but we're just one more semester closer to the finish line.
