Don't Let Your Break BREAK You!

Thanksgiving break is right around the corner! YAY! 

But while it can be very tempting to check out early, drool over your Thanksgiving feast, and binge-watch a whole season of Orange is the New Black on Netflix, it’s important to use your breaks to start on those assignments due when you get back. 

This semester, Finals Week starts on December 4^th. That’s only 3 days after we return from Thanksgiving break! Don’t get me wrong—enjoy your break! Watch a few episodes of the show you’ve been watching, kick back and catch up on your R&R. But make sure to also dedicate some time and get a head start on those assignments that are due after the break.

Here are some quick tips to keep yourself afloat during those last assignments and finals:

1.       Make a schedule

Set aside some time during Thanksgiving break to study or work on those assignments due after, even if it’s just a few of them. It’ll make the last two weeks of the Fall semester easier.

2.   Make a checklist

Organizing the things you have to do will make it easier to stay on topic and not get sidetracked. Plus, crossing things off feels nice!

3.   Take breaks

We’re not saying ONLY work on school during Thanksgiving break. Just make sure to get started on it. And take small breaks while you work on the assignments.

4.      Stay Organized

Stick to your schedule and checklist.
