Spring Break is a week away. This is not a drill.
As the halfway point of the semester approaches, it seems like due dates are piling up at a rate that is impossible to keep up with—especially with the idea of a vacation coming up. Whether you’ve got big spring break plans or not, it’s likely that the spring fever is going to get pretty strong in this next week. Here are some thoughts on how to make it through!

While you’re at it, think about how much more you’ll miss them while you’re at home, trying to avoid high school acquaintances.

Use this as an excuse to “Treat yo self.”

Use your weekend wisely
You don’t necessarily need to lock yourself in your favorite study zone from Friday night to Monday morning, but try to get on top of things so that your last week before break is (relatively) worry-free!
Hang in there and remember:
