Holidays often come to us far too slowly and finish far too quickly. Whether there was any studying done during the entire year of "holidays", students still need some time to switch back to "study mode". 

The end of the holidays usually suck off all our strength, but doing nothing about it is the worse way to end your holidays. When the time comes to go back to school, you'll still be stuck in the "holiday mood" and you won't be able to study effectively. So what can we do to meet this inevitable doom, here are 5 things to help you face the music better:

1. Adjust Your Schedule

Most students probably took advantage of this study-at-home period by sleeping until high noon or spending hours upon hours on games. This period of time must have been relaxing and enjoyable, seeing how they can practically do whatever they want whenever they want. But, if you don't want to fall asleep in class after going back to school, it's about time to adjust your schedule.

The best way to start is by adjusting your sleep patterns. That means no more scrolling your phones until 3am in the morning and sleeping past lunchtime. Slowly move your bedtime and your wake up time earlier and eventually you'll be able to wake up for morning classes easily.

2. Start with the Simple Tasks

If towards the end of your holidays you realize that you have been putting away work and assignments that should have been done throughout the holidays, then you might be looking at a pile of undone tasks. 

Don't let that intimidate you though, just start off from the smallest tasks such as buying and preparing your stationaries, cleaning your bag and school uniform, then slowly do the undone homework starting from the subject you hate the least. This will give you enough momentum to get along with the harder tasks.

3. Clean Your Desk

Giving your workplace a fresh start is a great way to get yourself prepared for a fresh start. You can do a few things such as cleaning your workplace of any dust and dirt, then decluttering it by removing the unnecessary items, and tidying up by putting the stationaries and tools you'll need for the upcoming start of the school year where you can see them to provide motivation.

4. Get Enough Rest

This, of course, is for when you've gone back to studying. Not everyone can adapt to a new situation in a short period of time, so don't stress yourself out too much. Study when you're supposed to study, and rest well when you're supposed to rest. Motivation is like a bubble, force yourself too hard, and it might just pop!

Besides that, find something mentally or spiritually relaxing during the weekends. It could be watching a movie, listening to music, making some art, or exercising. Compared to playing on your smartphone, these activities are enjoyable and have higher value.

5. Delete Some Apps

It might be hard, but some of you NEED to listen to this suggestion. Younger people who have gotten addicted to games or certain social media should try to delete them as your holidays come to an end. Even though they helped fill much of your time during the holidays, it is a huge distraction for when you need to study. It's much easier to get rid of any roadblocks than try to overcome them through sheer will.

Hopefully all students out there are able to find their motivation back when the holidays end. Keep working towards that goal and you'll get there soon enough!
