Top 5 Things To Make Your Spring Break Productive!

Spring break can be a blast if you are away on vacation.  It can also be pretty boring if you are staying in the dorms or staying at home with nothing to do.  Here are some things you can do to make your spring break productive:

1. Plan ahead and Finish Strong!
• Just because there's no school, it doesn't mean that there isn't any work.  With there being only a month and a half left before the semester ends, work definitely piles up quickly.  Those term papers that were announced in the beginning of the semester? Yeah, almost due.  Yes, take your break and RELAX, but it's always a good idea to use this time to get ahead as well.  Any papers due can be started, any online tests or quizzes can be completed, or any personal goals you had can be accomplished (take out that "to-do" list and cross some things off!).  This way when you get back, the rest of the semester will be a breeze. 
2. Summer Activities
• Yeah, summer is definitely around the corner.  Have you thought about it yet? Well now is the perfect time.  Maybe you wanted to travel, get an internship, get a job, go to school, etc.  Spring break is a great time to get that sorted out.  If it's a vacation, plan it and start saving.  If it's a job, start applying. If it's school, get enrolled. 
3. Reconnect with Friends and Family
• Use this time to catch up with loved ones.  When you are juggling school, work, and various activities, sometimes time moves so quickly.  Talk to your grandmother, visit your uncle, and get a chance to "chill" with some old buddies.  Using this time to connect withe some of the people you care about the most is probably one of the best uses of your break.
4. Work on a Resume
• I feel like I need to practice what I preach.  This is something I might start on as well.  It is a good use of time since you will be around friends and family who can critique your resume and help you perfect it.  If you don't have one already, get started! And if you do, good for you! Now perfect it!
5. Take Care of YOU!

• Please!  Those all-nighters, junk food at 12am, partying, working, lack of exercise, takes a tool on your body.  Get some rest, eat healthy (since you can raid your fridge at home now- for free!), and go out for a walk.  Do this so you can come back to school well rested and ready to finish the semester strong!

And please, stay safe this spring break!!
