Everyone needs a break once in a while, especially during college when you’re studying all the time. The toughest part about winter break is that it’s just enough time off to get you in vacation mode, which can be a very difficult mindset to break. Spring is equated with new beginnings, so give yourself a fresh start this semester. Here are some ideas to help you get motivated for the new semester looming around the corner.
#1 Get inspired: Whether you’re excited to get back to school or dreading the return, the mind is a powerful tool. Think positive thoughts to help you get pumped for the new semester.
#2 Set goals for yourself: Keep your ambitions realistic. Don’t kill yourself with excruciating expectations, all nighters and daily cram sessions. Always go into the new semester with the incentive to do the best you can.
#3 Learn from your mistakes: Use your past semesters as a guideline for what needs improvement and how you can make your semester as smooth as possible. If you stay on top of your studies in the beginning of the semester, that means less work and no nasty surprises in the end from your weeks of procrastination.
#4 Reward yourself: After all of your hard work, you deserve a treat. If you’ve aced an exam or written a great paper, celebrate your success! Go out with friends or buy yourself something you’ve really been wanting!
