A week off feels like a day off, I know. It’s challenging to get back into the perfect routine you had set before spring break. I wish I could forget that school started again and take a month off like I did last year when COVID-19 first hit. It’s almost like I NEED a break after spring break.
- Unpack all your bags
-
If you did any traveling for spring break, even if you just went back to your hometown, unpack your belongings as soon as you can. It lessens the load of everything you have to catch up on, and you’ll most likely regret leaving it for later. Wash all your clothes and put everything where it belongs, and it will set you up to get back into your normal routine.
- Sleep
-
Duh. You probably didn’t get a lot of sleep if you traveled, but catch up on your normal sleeping schedule to get yourself back even if you did. You’ll need it for your first week back.
- Plan
-
The semester is almost over, but your plans have probably been changed a little. Re-organize your schedule and make a list of all the work you have to complete for the week. Even if nothing changed, sometimes it helps to start fresh and give your brain that little boost.
Starting somewhere is still starting, even if it’s small. Post spring break feels like drowning is school work, but getting back into the groove of things makes everything so much easier in the long run.
