It’s 95 degrees outside and the seniors are done. The only thing that’s left to do is fill up that pool on the roof and go swimming. But we still have SAT’s, we still have tests, and we still have finals. So how do we get through those last few weeks of the school year?
1. Split free blocks between lying on the grass in the sun and getting some work done. Sleep is so completely out of reach at this point in the year that going to bed even 20 minutes earlier seems like a miracle. And Vitamin D is always great. But hey, you could even do your homework outside!
2. Make sure to stock up on something that keeps you awake. Sometimes, playing a mind-numbing game on your phone can do a lot in terms of waking you up. Anything that requires your minimal focus and not any actual mental strain can do the trick and can help you stay focused in class.
3. Water is a good friend. Snacks are even better. They keep you alert and focusing on something to do without taking your focus off of the material being covered.
4. Start a countdown on your calendar. Reminders of how little you have left can help you make that last push that you need to study for that math test.
If you have any other suggestions, let me know, because I could definitely use help getting through the next three to four weeks!
