As full time students, we are
often overwhelmed with schoolwork, but most of us place a lot of importance on
friends and having fun. It can be hard for many students to find that right
balance between school and our social lives, but putting a little bit of
thought and preparation into your schedule can save you from scrambling around
later.
Say you get asked out on a date,
do you quickly panic, thinking you might have to decline because you have a
test the next day? If so, take a second to gather yourself, and say yes to a
night of being wined and dined.
If you have a dinner date planned
for Wednesday, but find out you have a test on Thursday morning, there is no
need to cancel and break your man’s heart. Start studying early in the week,
little by little, so you won’t be overwhelmed the night before the test. By
doing this, you can make sure you have a good time out while being confident
you’re ready for the test.
Many of us have breaks in between
classes that last about an hour or longer. If you normally go home to nap, or
use that break to catch up on your Facebook stalking, change your habits to fit
upcoming events. Even though those breaks might seem like too short of a period
of time to get much done, the productivity will add up and help you get everything
done on time.
Preparing for your date doesn’t
mean just getting all your schoolwork out of the way, it’s important that you
take care of yourself too. No one wants to go on a date feeling exhausted and
tense from a long week of tests, papers, and projects. Before your date treat
yourself to some pampering. Get a mani/pedi, enjoy a bubble bath with scented candles and your favorite magazine, or splurge on a massage. When you have taken the
time out of your day to focus on yourself, you will feel and look your best.
