FawadWelp, the fun times have come and gone. It’s time to go back to the hustle and bustle of normal college life. Here are six ways to plan for your comeback after Spring Break:
Ease Back into Your Normal Routine
The hardest part about going back to school after spring break is acclimating yourself to the schedule. No more late-night jam sessions, no more sleeping to three pm, and no more lazy, never leave the house chill days. Get yourself back into the swing of things by going to bed early and getting yourself up even earlier. Also, try to spend a day or two out and about to prepare yourself for the long lecture days to come.
Make Sure All Your Books, Notebooks, Clothes, Etc. Are Squared Away for the First Day Back
Post-Spring Break is final exam season, a stressful time of studying(Study membership) and arduous lectures. Don’t stress yourself out even more by not preparing. There will be new textbooks to acquire for your new classes. Surely, your notebooks have all been filled up with random doodlings and the occasional note. But, most importantly, get your clothes in order before the first day back. Don’t rush yourself to cobble together the best outfit five minutes before you’re meant to be out the door. Prepare everything you need before the first day to remove a whole layer of stress on your already high-pressure day.
Skim Your Notes from Before Spring Break
Although new classes will be starting up, you’ll be going back to some classes from the previous semester, or at the very least revisit topics and subjects you’re encountered before. Do yourself a favor and look over your notes so you’re spending less time playing catch up while you should be moving forward with all the new topics you should be learning.
Contact Some of Your Friends Before Heading Back
Emotional support is just as important as intellect in college. You are stranded by yourself in a sea of homework and people. Put a buoy out to keep yourself afloat in the form of contacting your friends from college that you’ve forgotten over break. This will remove all the need for pleasantries and small talk when you see them in school. “Oh, how was your break? Wow, Cancun must have been great.” Nah, do that beforehand, so they can be there for you during this tumultuous, end of school year rush.
Write Up a List of Goals and Desires
Something many ADHD college students lack. They have no motivation other than getting good grades and have a good time. This aimlessness can lead to worse grades and time spent unproductively. So, dedicate some time to going back to creating a list of goals you can strive to complete. This doesn’t just have to be school-related: you can craft some social and future career goals as well.
Start Prepping for Final Exams
They are on the horizon, so you might as well start preparing for them now. The all-encompassing devil spawn of the academic institution, final exams are designed to catch you off guard. “Oh, I have a test in trig and a project in Film Production…wait, final exams(Feelings about final exams) are next week? Nobody told me this.” They probably did, but you were too caught up in the whirlwind of college to pay much attention. Don’t fall into that trap. Start studying now. That means online studying materials and practice tests. Might I suggest SolutionInn?
