For many of you, the semester has come to a close, and you are happily situated at home (wherever that happens to be), enjoying holiday activities, friends, family, and down time.
The rest of you may be more like me. I am up to my elbows in a minimester course, helping 10 brave souls to develop and improve their writing skills. Others of you may have full-time jobs and/or families to care for and no time to slow down.
If you fall into this second category, let me encourage you to find some down time in the midst of your busy daily lives to rest and enjoy the holiday season and all it has to offer.
This may seem like an impossible goal, but if you are planning on diving into another semester this coming spring, you need that down time to refresh, revive, and give yourself the strength to face 15 weeks of academic challenges.
Even one day of doing nothing, lounging around in your pjs, or having a family night of fun can help. So embrace your inner couch potato and allow yourself to take a break this holiday!

Spending a lot of time in the library lately? If so, you should try out one of these libraries on CampusGrotto’s Most Beautiful Libraries list.
The library above can be found on the campus of the University of Texas. Pretty impressive, right? Take a look at the list to see if your campus library is mentioned. If it is, pay it a visit. Studying is always more enjoyable when you can do it in a beautiful place (relatively speaking).
If you’re a regular reader, you’ve seen lots of advice on how to study for college here. If you’re new, take a look at the archives to see what you missed. And read on for a few last minute pointers.
Hang in there – it will be over before you know it. Good luck!
