Spring Break is over. I know. Miserable. But, the good news is, there are only four weeks plus finals until spring semester 09 is OVER. But we do have all those final projects, tests, and final studying to do. So...how do we get through? Here are some tips.
1. Take it a week at a time. Don't waste time crossing off the days...just the weeks. Seriously, if you just think in terms of weeks, it will all just flow into the end. Do this four times and before you know it, the final week will be here.
2. Put forth effort. If you try on everything you are doing, you will care about it. If you care, it won't seem so monotonous and boring. You will do a good job, get deserving grades, and lack that despising hatred for the final weeks that you know so well.
3. Stay focused. Do what you must. Don't let your mind wander too much. If you do nothing but dream of the end of the semester, it will seem even further away. If you go ahead and keep your thoughts here for the most part, summer will be knocking sooner than you expect it.
4. Plan for the summer. Go ahead and look forward to the sweet times awaiting you in a few weeks. As I said in three, don't dwell on it. But let the smell of what's ahead help you push through. If you have something to look forward to, you will see the light at the end of the tunnel.
5. Bide your time. Enjoy the aspects of being on campus that you like. For example, go to the FREE fitness center or HPESS. Or go sit and read at the fountain, even if you have to study while doing so. If you aren't from Jonesboro, go hang out at some of your favorite town sites. Just enjoy it while you are still here!
