Spring break is coming up fast and the weather is getting a bit warmer. Midterms are approaching and some stress is building up. The excitement for the whole week-long spring break is definitely there for us students. Even if you’re not going to any special destination but your own home, you can make this break great. But because you have a week off it doesn’t mean you should let the homework pile up and become disorganized. Make the most out of your spring break with these tips!

1. Make a homework list

I know for sure I will have more than just a little bit of homework over break already and that falling behind isn’t where I want to go. So write down all your assignments and deadlines. Plan what days you want to do part or even most of your homework. I recommend doing it closer to the beginning of break so you can be able to relax more comfortably knowing you don’t have the weight of assignments on your shoulders. You don’t want to save it for the day before we come back to school.

2. Spring cleaning

You might not even think about this before break but you will thank yourself a hundred times. It’s always nice to do some cleaning in your living area or dorm. Wash your bedding before break and clean your room. Then you will feel yourself leaving Winona organized. Then be able to come back to a nice clean space!

3. Plan it Out

There might be a few things you want to do for sure in your week off but you’re not sure exactly when or if you have time. Set days aside for family, friends, fun activities, relaxing and schoolwork. You will be glad you did because you won’t feel like you have to cram it all in a couple days.

4. Get productive

The week before break can be pretty hectic and busy. But don’t get stressed out! Stay positive that you’ll get your work done. Pack your bag for home a little early. Make sure you’re leaving campus feeling confident you’ll be able to handle the week back with ease. Because all the busy weeks this semester will be worth it once spring break hits.

Now I hope you’ll be able to get ahead and fully enjoy your spring break in a little over a week!
