10 Tips on How to Bounce Back from the Weekend

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Clemson chapter.

  1. Remember the weekend is only two days and not reality. Avoid scrolling your camera roll and finding fun weekend pictures that will distract you from your studies!
  2. Go back to your normal eating routine and habits, know you aren’t going out to eat every meal anymore.
  3. Make checklists for your academics and home chores. Checking boxes off is satisfying and will help you accomplish your stressful weeks.
  4. Lather your skin with lotion everyday to keep your fresh tan for when you have to walk across campus everyday in shorts.
  5. Exercise for at least 30 minutes everyday to help with stress. Maybe even play your weekend playlist on the treadmill to make you run faster and longer.
  6. Don’t post throwback pictures from your weekend because it will only make you miss it more and affect your motivation.
  7. Avoid studying outside on a beautiful day because you will reminisce all your weekend memories from the warmth and sunshine.
  8. Plan your time wisely! With only a month left of school and nice weather, it’s easy to get distracted. Set times aside for studying, exercising, napping, and socializing all with moderation.
  9. Look back on past papers and exams. Seeing your hard work paid off will create more motivation and empowerment to study harder!
  10.  Start planning your weekend plans!
