Just Survive till Winter Break

Well it is my hope that each and every Duke had a fabulous break this past week, my week was full of love and relaxation and I hate to see the break from school end. However, we all know that it must, and what is in store for us over these next three weeks...cold weather and the dreaded finals.

Here are a few ways to get yourself back into the grove after a week off from LifeHacker:

1. Start your Monday off right, get a good night's rest and eat a nutritious breakfast.

2.Carve out some time for yourself. Use this time to debrief from break and slowly get back into some school work.

3.These next few weeks are going to be CRAZY. Plan things out for yourself, you will appreciate it later.

4.Once you have your plans, start with the small things you can check off your list. It will help to ease you back into the swing and things and make you feel as though you are still accomplishing things.

5. Remember that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. While the weeks leading up too and taking finals can be overwhelming and exhausting, the semester will end. Winter break is right around the corner, with plenty of time for relaxation, stuffing our faces and sleep.

In between studying for finals, JMU has these next three weeks filled with events for us Dukes.
