5 Ways to Make the Most of your Spring Semester!
As Spring rolls around we are given the oppurtunity to unwind, soak in the warm weather and forget the troubles winter brought. Sunny days accompanied by new classes and new friends gives us hope that this semester will be the best one yet. Here is my guide to thriving this spring semester!
1. Focus
Make a plan and stick to it. Work hard, believe in yourself and set new goals for yourself. Whether it be finally getting your dream internship or doing well in a difficult course, do not lose sight of your goals!
2. Don’t Settle
There are certain things in life that should never be “average.” If fact, I truly believe nothing in life should ever be average! Never settle for average grades, an average boyfriend or an average job. You are capable of so much more than you believe– you deserve the best.
3. Think Positive
You are what you think. If you believe in yourself then you can do anything. Wake up each morning feeling grateful that you have the oppurtunity to learn and make something of yourself. Writing down all the qualities you love about yourself while you sip on your morning cup of coffee is the best way to start each day!
4. Be Humble
As we grow older, it is important to recoginze how fortunate so many of us are. It is so important to make others feel good about themselves; as our own actions towards others are a reflection of how we feel about ourselves. Do not brag or boast– jealousy is not an aspiring quality. Remember, it is so much better to surprise people with your work ethic and determination! Work hard and stay humble, the world is yours to take.
5. Choose Happiness
Happiness is a choice. This spring semester I challenge you to choose happiness. Look back on how far you have come, and look forward to your future. Not every day will be sunny, rainy clouds will occasionally surface. But we must remember that our own happiness comes from within. Whether it be working out, learning to cook, or simply indulging yourself with a good book and latte at your favorite coffee shop, make yourself happy. You are so special, don’t forget to acknowlegde the light that is shining within you!
Spring Semester brings new hopes, challenges and celebrations. With a healthy mind, body and spirit, you can tackle spring semester! We are all rooting for you! Good luck collegiettes!
