Coming back to school after spring break is the worst transition that a student can make. We have just spent well over a week hanging out with our friends from home, some of us maybe went on vacation, and then there are a select few that spent their days binge watching Netflix. Hey, no judgments! It was a small taste of the life that is awaiting us after the semester ends and we all forgot just how much we cherish that time. That time of year will be here before you know it, but if you are starting to find yourself in a mid semester slump here are a few ways to help you through it.

Also, cherish this time with your friends. These are the final weekends you are all together before summer comes.
End of the semester means the end of spring, which means the start of summer, which ultimately means new clothes. It may be a few months early, but it never hurts to just look at the summer collections. Or buy something. Lets face it, you can’t just look at the clothes. You need to buy the clothes.
Do not let your friends who are overachievers freak or stress you out about the amount of work that will begin to pile up. You work on your own schedule which is the schedule of…
