This is extremely useful for those of you who prefer to go bare face. Mid-class, take a restroom break and splash some cold water on your face to wake yourself up.
2. Snacks on some sweets.
A granola bar or some fruit gummies will keep your body active and the sugar will give you energy.
Just like throwing water on your face, taking a couple sips of some icy water will keep you awake. Adding slices of your fave fruit, will not only make it taste better, but look better too!
4. Note, doodle, planner.
This is not intended to distract you from class. Use it as something to multitask as you listen to your professor. Take notes in a new, cuter way: try writing super neat, use highlighters, or stickers. Anything that will make it fun to read later. I love writing down in my planner once my professor goes into last class’s review, since I already know what he’s talking about, and I don’t need to participate as much. I like to jot down due dates, daily plans, and sometimes quotes or short goals I’ve had in my head.
5. Moistening them hands.
This is for those lectures, when you’re not required to take down notes. I always carry hand lotion in my purse (just in case my skin gets dry). You can give yourself a massage with a nice scented lotion. I love Bath and Body works Japanese Cherry Blossom because it’s a classic, and it brings back memories.
And when all else fails… you can always rely on…
