Returning to college after a long winter break can be tough. Most students have to get back into the swing of things such as: waking up at a decant hour, being able to sit through class again and not staying up until two in the morning every night. As the winter break comes to a close, here are a few tips on how to easily get back into your schedule.

Firstly, as most students know, wait to buy your books until after your first class. Sometimes the professors do not make you buy all that are listed on the syllabus. This will save you some extra cash for your first weekend going back out in your college town.

Secondly, take all your syllabi and write down every important due date for each class. You will thank yourself later. Also, while doing this, it does not hurt to make some personal and career goals for your semester. It could be from the smallest thing as remembering to call your grandparents to getting that most coveted job after graduation. Organization and time management are key in college.

Spring semester is always hard once pool season comes about, so keep up with your classes and study harder in the beginning if you want to slack off and be able to go to the pool when it heats up. Again, this goes back in with time management. If you use your time wisely in the beginning of the semester, you can have a good time once the end of April comes about. Nothing beats beer bongs in the pool after a long day of classes.

So, as students prepare to make the haul back to spring semester, do not fret. As much as it seems to be the end of the world, there is a light at the tunnel! Safe travels to everyone on their return to school.
