I know, I know, each and every one of you is counting the days until graduation, the last day of school, summer vacation, your trip out of town – whatever the case may be – I have a strong sense that I’m not the only one around here with a case of senior/junior/SUMMER…make that school – itis!
While the warm afternoons and pending end-of-the-school-year activities may make it hard to concentrate on that chemistry final, don’t spend your last few days or weeks daydreaming your classes away…or you might wake up to a nightmare!
Take the advice of some of my two-legged siblings – don’t forget to balance, balance, balance!
Take a study break and call your BFF to discuss hash out who was sent home last night on American Idol.
Put your Shakespeare down and go meet a friend for a latte
– you’ll get a little R&R AND a caffeine boost.Unearth yourself from the mountain of notes you have covered yourself with, and go hang out with your family for a little while – play a game
or watch a movie.The key is to take small breaks as you go along that will help get you to the finish line without calling for the medics! Don’t burn yourself out…but don’t drop all of your responsibilities to party like a rock star either. You’re almost there…stay focused, stay balanced, and then, in the words of Kool and the Gang, (Never heard of them? Go ask your parental units) you can CELEBRATE!
Woof,
Clyde
