How To Survive The School Weeks Before Summer

How+To+Survive+The+School+Weeks+Before+Summer


Each weekend is composed of sunshine, and barbecues with the taste of summer. Then all of a sudden Monday morning comes along and the first symptom hits you hard, not being able to get out of bed. You stroll in late to class with a coffee in hand and soon into first block more symptoms come along: lack of focus and no motivation. If you start to notice yourself focusing on the the activities of the upcoming summer, there’s some good news. I can diagnosis you. You’ve come down with a case of “senioritis.” Although it is most common for seniors graduating, soon it can affect anyone during their high school career and blur the importance of what’s in front of you. For seniors, its graduation; for underclassmen, it’s the last few weeks of school. Good news! Theres a cure.

1. Keep up with your academic routine: there’s only a month left of school which means we made it to the home stretch! If what you’ve been doing this whole year has been working for you, keep it consistent. If you’re not happy with what you’ve been doing, change it up and create a new schedule for the last month and keep it for next year– Success comes with failure.

2. Stay on track with your sleep schedule: When you get home from a long day at school it may be tempting to lay down for a while, but naps make you less tired when it’s time to go to sleep at night. This leads to the 2am binge watching of Netflix. Trust me you’ll have plenty of time for that in the summer! Keep it at your regular time so you don’t fall asleep in your first block.

3. The homework struggle: At this point in the school year six hours is more than enough work for you… Trust me I get it. But don’t give up yet. If you’re slacking off on your homework it’s going to leak into your class work. You’ve gotten this far, don’t let a homework grade be your demise.

4. #goals: High school is the pathway to your future, whatever you may decide to do after you graduate. At the end of the day, no matter what you still end up with a report card at the end of it. Your term grade doesn’t matter but its the final grade that counts. Don’t let your hard work slip away now!
