You had some homework to do over the break, but you didn’t have the stressful environment of school around you. That week went by way, way too fast and now you’re back. You’re happy to be back with your roommates and friends, but not under these circumstances. Spring break is over, you’re back in your 9 a.m. and you’re caught in that post-spring break funk.

4. Take some me-time
Don’t forget to stop and take some time for yourself. Your mental health and happiness is most important. When you get home from classes or your internship, do a face mask, watch some Netflix and relax.

When you think about it, post-Spring break just means we’re over halfway through the semester! It’ll all be over before you know it.
