Have you ever noticed how right after spring break it seems almost impossible to get motivated again? Completing homework, doing chores, or even reading one chapter of a book seems to be a strenuous task. With these top four methods you will be motivated in no time:


1. Get Organized

Getting organized truly helps you realize what needs to stay and what needs to go. With a simple task such as this one, once you have cleaned out your backpack and organized your folders, it will be easier to see what you need to do and will slowly push you toward a motivated and better you.

2. Write a List

Write a list of all the reasons why you need to be motivated. What are your goals? What do you want to achieve and how are you going to achieve it?


3. Take Breaks

After you have completed a few minor tasks, take a break! Take a break in between two or three tasks to make sure that you're not exhausted. You could grab a snack, watch ten minutes of a show, etc.



4. Negotiate

Negotiate with yourself. For example, get that biology project done before the end of the week and then allow yourself to splurge and binge watch a season on Netflix. By creating these negotiations you are forcing to get work done in order for a nice reward.


Overall, whether you follow these four tips or do something of your own, it's not easy to get back into the strenuous, stressful, and anxiety-prone lifestyle that so many students follow at school. Make sure you take breaks and treat yourself once you have completed all of your hard work.

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. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
