- 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!
- Go back to your normal eating routine and habits, know you aren’t going out to eat every meal anymore.
- Make checklists for your academics and home chores. Checking boxes off is satisfying and will help you accomplish your stressful weeks.
- Lather your skin with lotion everyday to keep your fresh tan for when you have to walk across campus everyday in shorts.
- 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.
- Don’t post throwback pictures from your weekend because it will only make you miss it more and affect your motivation.
- Avoid studying outside on a beautiful day because you will reminisce all your weekend memories from the warmth and sunshine.
- 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.
- Look back on past papers and exams. Seeing your hard work paid off will create more motivation and empowerment to study harder!
- Start planning your weekend plans!
