You all are probably looking forward to Thanksgiving break. For some of you this may be the first break you have had this semester. Some schools have a mid-fall break, while others go straight through to Thanksgiving.
One thing you will soon discover is that it is very hard to study and do class work when you are home over break. There are many other things to do; sleep in your own bed, visit family and friends, sleep some more, etc. You simply will not feel like studying.
Here are few ideas to help you keep up with your studies:
- Before you get home, plan specific times when you will study.
- Go to your local library or Starbucks where the atmosphere will be more "academic."
- Tell your family and friends that you have to study and get their help to keep you on target.
- Do your work early in the break - don't wait until the last day.
If you have a big exam when you return or if there is a subject that you are really working hard on, it is important that you review that material 20 minutes or so each day. If not, you will have to relearn everything when you get back to classes.
Enjoy yourself! Rest, relax and get energized for the final push of the semester!
