Spring break is great. Until it isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A break from classes and responsibility is nice for a while, until it\u2019s the first day back from break and it\u2019s the first time you\u2019ve opened your laptop to the 10 assignments you have due in less than 24 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a word\u2026yikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Coming back to class after break is a whole other issue. Losing your motivation is easier than losing your keys. Which I do quite often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All you want to do is continue your marathon of all the Twilight movies (what? They\u2019re my comfort movies), but you need to tackle 100 pages of history readings and write three stories for the newspaper (like the one you are currently reading).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By the time spring break is over, the semester will be about half over. So don\u2019t let yourself give up quite yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Remember what Big Time Rush said. You\u2019re almost halfway there. Wise words from wise men (other than Carlos who has become somewhat problematic but that\u2019s a whole other conversation and I won\u2019t go into it right now).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The point is, no matter how much you don\u2019t want to, you need to power through it. Otherwise, all the suffering and pit of stress that is college will have been for nothing. And don\u2019t even get me started on the student loans I need to start paying back soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Power through the last few months of the semester, do the best you can, and then you\u2019ll have the entire summer to relax and forget about school for a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can do it. Trust me, I give advice for a living. Well, it\u2019s more for academic credit than for a living but you get my point. You got this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
