The end is near! Soon enough, you will get a break from class and all the responsiblities. However, at this point in the semester, you may feel a bit disorganized. It happens, you have too much too do so you put aside yourself for a bit to get it all done. Now that you are caught up or almost caught up it is time for some damage control. 

1. Take Care of Yourself

Take a bubble-bath, do a facemask, eat some ice cream, or take a nap. Do whatever you can to charge your batteries, before getting down to business.

2. Start with your living-area

Run the vacuum, get rid of papers you don’t need, and give a place to everything. Your living space resembles how you feel, and giving it a good clean will help you feel less crowded. Go through your closet and see if you can get rid of anything. Stock up on your soap (or anything else you may need) that way you don’t have to make an emergency run for a razor in a few weeks. 

3. Clean your Social Media

Delete any pictures, contacts, Facebook friends, or messages that make you sad, angry, or are not good for you. Your phone can store some hurtful things, so don’t let them hurt you anymore. Fill your time with encouraging notes, pictures, and friends that bring you up and make you happy. 

4. Other Stuff

Clean out your email of junk letters and safe space for more important messages. Give your car a wash and an oil change (if you haven’t recently) to keep it running smooth. Download some new songs to give your IPod a new boost or stock your fridge with better atternatives than chips and soda. 

5. Make a List

Not everything is going to be complete after you clean, so make a list of things you would like to complete by the end/ beginning of the next month. Than make another list for items you would like to accomplish by the end of the next week.
