Last week before spring break

It's your last week of classes before spring break arrives. How do you stay motivated? There's so many ways you could get distracted. Your parents are constantly texting or calling you about when you're coming home. Your friends are asking what you want to do over break together. Maybe you're going on a trip with a class outside of the country and you can't stop thinking about it.

However with all these distractions, you still have exams and assignments due before the break. What do you do at a time like this?


1. Get it done
Remind yourself that the more work you get done, the less work you'll have to do over break. Once you get everything completed and turned in, your break will feel well deserved and it'll be a lot easier to relax and literally, take a break.

2. Get plenty of sleep
Yeah, you may be thinking that all you'll do over break is catch up on sleep. Who wants to spend a whole week off from classes sleeping? NO! That's boring! Plan out your day throughout the week before break so you can complete everything you need to so you can get a good night's rest every night. Sleep is important during the hectic weeks, especially before break. You do not want to waste your week off sleeping. It can't happen.

3. Keep energized
This may seem a little odd, but keep yourself energized and awake during this week. What makes you energized? Drinking coffee? Blasting music? Exercising? Do what keeps your blood pumping and energy going. It's a simple task but it could help motivate you to get through the hectic week prior to spring break.

Now that you have some ways to keep yourself on task before break, you'll be able to fly through the work you need to complete and find spring break waiting for you a few days from now. Spring break is a well deserved time off. Get your work done so you can enjoy that week off from classes.

Sincerely,
