They say time flies when you’re having fun, but why does spring break have to go by so fast!? It can be hard to get into your normal routine after taking a break for a week, but I have a few tips to help with that!

1. Print out pictures from your break

Whether or not you went away on a vacation or you just went home, I am sure that you have pictures from your break. I love taking pictures and every once in a while I like to print them out and put them around my room

2. Stay motivated

I know that after spring break it can be hard to return to classes and your normal routine, but summer is just around the corner! Spring is my favorite season as the weather gets nicer.

3. Get fit

I know this one can be difficult – I am terrible at keeping exercise part of my everyday routine, but I am trying to do better. Working out is a good way to get your mind off things, and the endorphins make you feel better. Even if you only do something simple like walk for 30 minutes at least it is something!

4. Stay organized

I love writing things down on sticky notes. I have a bad memory so if I randomly think of something that I have to do, I am sure to write it down. I also like to use planners. I have one that has a list of things that need to be done for everyday of the week. I swear by them. I do not think I would be able to manage college classes and activities without them!

5. Have fun

Make sure to make these last few weeks of school count! Get active on campus and meet new people.

Spring break may be over, but don’t worry- Summer break is around the corner. I can’t wait for the warmer weather and some time off from school!

Utica '20

Meet Bianca, I am currently a Junior at Utica College in Utica, NY.  I am a Criminal Justice major with a concentration in Homeland Security.  Crime investigation has always been something that interests me.  I’m dedicated and passionate and it’s hard for me to quit things. I get that from my father so don’t hold it against me- he was a veteran and police officer for 20 years.   Growing up in a family centered around law enforcement has helped guide me in this direction, and I will forever be grateful.  After graduation I intend to continue on to law school where I can further my education in hopes of becoming a criminal defense lawyer and later on a District Attorney.  An interesting fact about myself is that I found the passion to be a criminal defense lawyer from watching the O.J. Simpson case.  The facts and conspiracy theories evoked a whole new passion behind criminal investigation that I intend to use in my future.  One of my most prominent moments in my writing career was when I wrote for an online magazine and had my most prevalent article hit 1.6k shares.  I believe in treating people with the same kind of respect and manners you would expect in return, and in a way it has helped shaped my expectations in life.   When you first meet me I won’t be the loudest in the room or the center of attention, but I will be intently listening to everything you say, for what you have to say may have a purpose. I believe in purpose. I believe that everyone is here to help you grow into who you are today and who you will be tomorrow.
