By the time this gets into your hands spring break will have officially begun. After weeks and weeks of working hard, completing assignments, and studying for exams, we get to have a full week of relaxation. You might be familiar with the kind of articles that recommend things to do during this break: hanging out with friends, going to the movies, binge-watching your favorite show for the 12th time; the classics, but not everyone recommends things to not do during this time, and that advice can be equally as important!
- Before leaving make sure your room is clean, or at least free of any trash that might stink up the place while you are gone. You wouldn’t want to come back to a smelly room when you just want to relax after a long trip!
- Check Inquire, make sure you completed any assignments and midterms before the due date. Imagine yourself just watching a movie and then suddenly remembering you forgot to turn in a project worth 20%! To avoid stress during this time it’s better to keep track of your classes before you head home.
- Keep an eye on your email; most professors will use this time to decompress and won’t appear in your Outlook; but it never hurts to check from time to time to make sure you don’t miss any important information.
It is better to be safe than sorry, and when you know you have everything nice and done you can truly enjoy that week of fun and catch up on missing sleep; have a great spring break Maroons!
