By Sydney JacobNot only do we all have the bad case of the Mondays, but also the Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays (unless you’re lucky enough to have no Friday class). Here are some tips on how to stay motivated on those days that you just want to curl up in your warm bed instead. Stay Organized Before your new week starts over take a step back on Sundays and open up your planner. Fill in when you have assignments, quizzes and tests due so that you can plan out when you fit in break time for social events or activities. School can get so hectic and overwhelming at times but if you make sure to budget your time, it is really important to squeeze in some “me time” where you can let your brain relax and hang with friends or catch up on your favorite tv show. One of my favorite planners that I have had is Day Designer’s Monthly/Weekly planner from Target for only $9.99. At the beginning of every month there is an area that has three sections of checklists where you can set priorities for the month. Change It Up
Studies have proven that creating variety in your schedule and trying new things can increase happiness. The same exact every single week can get to be boring, so try something new! The internet is your best friend so look there for inspiration, like this website with events going on in Minneapiolis (http://www.exploreminnesota.com/index.aspx). Go take a look at our other blogger’s post here in TWIN. Maybe go try one of the restaurants in our food section or even try out the makeup tutorials in our beauty section. It is going to be inevitable to have a set schedule with school and work, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t step outside of your everyday habits and change things up a bit. Join a Club Clubs are a great way and easy way to meet new people, network with professionals and get out of the house. Normally clubs are very laid back and are there if you want to participate. Everyone understands that life happens, so you are not obligated to make it to every single meeting. You for sure will not regret going to meetings because you get to experience a change of pace as well as doing something you are passionate about. The majority of you reading are probably already our FAB (Fashion and Business) Club. If you are NOT, what are you waiting for?? We are a club that welcomes anyone in any major who shares our passion for fashion as well as a desire to go to fashion events where you can network with professionals in the field while learning more about the industry and meeting great friends along the way. Clubs are a great stress reliever where you can take a quick hour off from homework and hang out with others who are in the same boat as you. There are 1000+ student organizations here at the U of M and there is even the opportunity to start your own, visit the link to learn more! https://gopherlink.umn.edu/organizations
