Semester Break – Time to Refuel!

Congratulations to students who just finished fall semester finals!

 

I’m not sure why schools don’t just give finals before the winter holidays because preparing for finals after coming back from a 2-week break is both stressful and daunting.  Most semester breaks are only a few days off so make the most of them!

 

 

This might sound counterintuitive but hear me out.  When you head back to school in a few days, you want to hit the new semester running.  So you don’t want to be exhausted as your body has to readjust – again – to getting up early for school.  

 

Over the next 3 or 4 days, get up at the same time you do while school is in session, and go to bed at a reasonable time so you get your 8 or 9 hours of sleep each night.  If you need to catch up on sleep, go to bed earlier and maybe sleep in for an hour at the most.  That way, when school starts up, you’ll be ready and refueled!
