Tips to getting back on track after spring break

We all know that once spring break hits, the semester is coming to a close end. Everyone goes on their exciting, fun-filled beach trips and comes back more unmotivated than ever. Unfortunately, there is still plenty of exams, projects and events that have to happen before summer comes upon us.

Here are some helpful tips that will help everyone get back on track and finish the semester strong.

Use Your Planner

After being gone for over a week, you forget about anything and everything that is due in the upcoming weeks. Use your planner to write out any assignments are exams that are in the next month or so. This helps with organization and procrastination, which every college kid is familiar with.

Turn Your Phone Off For One Hour a Day

I know this may seem impossible to most, but if you can manage an hour without the checking of Instagram and Twitter stories you will be 100 times more productive. During this hour, work on homework, read a book, have some ME time or anything that will help you create a more productive environment for the day.

Clean Your Room

This may seem irrelevant and small, however with a clean room comes a clean mind. Even if its just a quick make of the bed each morning, walking into a clean room will promote productivity and motivation to get things done.

Workout

No matter if you are a marathon runner or an "I hate cardio" type of person, a quick workout can make anyone feel like a million bucks. It could be as simple as going for a walk or a short and sweet jog around campus. Anything that gets the heart pumping and blood flowing will brighten your mood and help sweat out any of the "toxins" taken in over spring break.

Create Plans With Friends

The weeks following spring break can be stressful and full of hectic, chaotic days. Creating plans with friends either during the week or on the weekends helps motivate you to get through the day. It could be grabbing a bite to eat or a coffee during the week or planning something fun on the weekend.

Drink Water

After spring break where most might have had a few cups of water total for the week, H20 is important. Try to always carry around a reusable water bottle around with you to classes and activities to keep you hydrated throughout the day. After a big glass of water, coffee is allowed.

Eat Foods That Make You Feel Good

Whether this is a healthy meal with protein, greens and healthy carb or a greasy double cheeseburger, eat food that makes YOU feel good. It is all about balance. Make sure to eat something every couple hours to keep your energy up for classes and extracurricular activities.
