I always find it a difficult transition to get back into the
school mode after a long, relaxing vacation. Here are some helpful tips that
can help get you back into your school routine in no time!
1.
Preparation
is key: A few days before returning back to school, check your email to see
if your professors post any syllabi, that way you have a general overview of
the curriculum of the courses you are taking as well as planning out your
semester by listing dates of exams or projects in your academic planner.
2.
Catching
up with friends: Meeting up with friends after the break is always fun
because everyone dishes out their fun vacation stories, but this is also a good
time to see if you have any classes with your friends or classmates. That way
you can form study groups with them for upcoming exams during the semester.
3.
The
Planner: The first few days back to school from vacation will be hectic
since you are slowly adapting to your new work and/or class schedule. Writing
in your planner or creating a task list will take some of the stress off your
shoulders because it will help keep you organized and prevent you from getting
too overwhelmed.
4.
Eating
Healthy: You know what they say, “Breakfast is the most essential meal of
the day.” Having good nutritional habits provides the body with energy
throughout the day. It is incredibly important to eat a hardy healthy breakfast
on your first day back to school so that you can give your body the proper fuel
to start off the day right.
5.
Don’t
take on too much: Though it may be tempting to plan out your whole
semester’s events all in one day, you don’t want to swamp yourself by taking on
too much all at once. Sometimes it helps to focus on one thing at a time. Check
off the assignments that you have done one by one, in no time; you will find
yourself doing things in routine that will be easier to follow and get use to.
