Get Back to Studies After a Vacation

According to the dictionary, vacation is a fixed holiday period between terms in universities and law courts. Vacation is also the action of leaving something one previously occupied. However, it may be difficult to get back to studying after vacations. This WikiHow article will guide you to start studying in the easiest and quickest method.

Steps

Before

  1. Remember why you are studying. If you enjoy studying, then returning to it won't be difficult. However, if you don't, that's okay.
    • Try to identify a goal for studying. If you're motivated by it, it'll make you want to study more. Goals include acing an exam, doing well in school, etc.
  2. Have the correct attitude.
  3. Carry a positive attitude.
  4. Push yourself.

Starting to Study

  1. Get into your normal sleep pattern. Still finding yourself looking at memes or funny videos at 3 am? Time to get back into your normal sleeping routine. This won't happen overnight, so start going to sleep earlier and setting the alarm at an earlier time the week or so before you head back to studying and classes.
    • You will find your days are getting longer and you have so much more time to do the things you have yet to tick off before the holiday ends.
  2. Stay healthy. You need to put an end to the days of eating junk food in front of the TV if not already. Getting into a healthier diet and lifestyle will help you regain the energy needed for the new semester.
    • Prepare meals at home and avoid eating out at restaurants. Use fresh vegetables from the market.
  3. Set realistic goals for the new semester. Keep yourself motivated by coming up with a list of why you’re studying. Choose a few important study goals, but be realistic.
    • Prioritise what is really important to you this year, and focus on that.
  4. Use a Planner or Calendar: It's time to get serious about studying. When you receive your class schedule, start figuring out when the high-pressure points of the year are going to occur, and think about how you are going to manage the workload. This will also help you know when you have more time to relax, and when you really need to be hitting the books.
  5. Gradually increase your study time. As do most things in life, getting back into study mode after a long break takes time.
    • If you try too hard to immediately launch into a five-hour study session, you may find yourself on a fast track to burnout. Ease into it.
  6. Create a better study environment.
    • Declutter your desk, get rid of the junk food wrappers accumulating around the computer. Nobody expects you to have a totally clean study environment, but if your study space is too cluttered you can end up losing important documents and wasting time searching for them. If you still can’t focus, try going outside.
    • Enjoy the natural sounds in Brisbane’s parks, drop in to the library or study on location in one of many Brisbane's many cafes.
  7. Find a study buddy. A study buddy or a group of friends who are going through the same thing can help when you’re not feeling motivated enough. You don’t have to actually sit together and study the same things, as long as you can check in on each other from time to time to see if you have hit your goals. If you’re struggling to motivate yourself, try motivating someone else and have them do the same for you in return.
