Finals are hard enough, so here are some helpful tips for you to be on top of your game and to get you prepared for summer early!
Sign Up for Classes– Get the perfect schedule for next year so you don’t have to carry that burden with you over summer.

You can even plan for fall or spring, get the best of the best so your upcoming year is fun.
Finish Strong– End the semester strong and on a good note. If it’s your last semester at UCF make it count. Even if it isn’t, end the spring with good grades and a good attitude- Summer is a comin’!

Apply for a Part-Time Job– If you’re going home for the summer, or even staying in Orlando, earn some extra cash! Don’t spend your summer being too lazy, get some extra money in your pocket and something else add to your résumé. Start searching now because everyone is going to be on the look-out come May and you want your first picks!
Get a Passport– You never know when your family or friends might plan a last minute vaca cruise to Cozumel, Mexico. It never hurts to be ready and have a passport handy, plus they don’t expire for years so it’s great to have. You might need one Bahama mama.
Beach Bod– If you plan on spending your summer at the beach, working out and getting in shape is how you can get ready. Results don’t appear overnight, set a goal for yourself and work towards it for a couple months. It’ll make you feel happier and healthier too.
Remember: “you don’t sweat, you sparkle.”
Tan– Whether you lay out by the pool or go to a tanning bed, getting a pre-summer tan would be nice. The weather has been gorgeous lately, treat yourself to weekends by the pool- you can study there and get homework done while still getting the perfect base tan for summer.
Plan a Vacation– Put that passport to use this summer and take a vacation! Start planning it now to make it unforgettable. Don’t forget that summer isn’t all work, you need to add a little play in there too.
