Spring Break is generally scheduled sometime during the month of March. Hopefully you do not have a lot of work to do – it is called a “break” for a reason! If this is not your first semester, you already know that it is next to impossible to study when you are home. Here are a few things you can do to be sure you get some studying time in:
- First, try to get as much done before you go on break
- Decide on specific times when you will study before you even go home
- Tell these times to someone else so they will help you be accountable
- Go to your local Library – putting yourself into an academic atmosphere definitely helps
- Set yourself up to be successful – plan to study when you have the house to yourself, if possible
- Study a few hours before something especially fun and use that event as a reward
Even if you do not have an exam or paper due immediately after break, consider taking your notes home and reviewing them a few times over break. Forgetting happens very quickly and if you completely remove your studies from your mind for a week, you will have to do some relearning when you get back to classes in addition to learning the new material.
