It’s summer! Time to relax and have a break from school, who doesn’t love that? But remember, in a few months, fall semester will be starting, so why not be prepared for when it is time to get back in the swing of things? The school year will approach and the schedule that you got used to over your break is going to modify. Classes will start back up. Your living situation may change. You have a new job or internship. Whatever it may be, your daily routine will alter. Change can cause anxiety, and adjusting to a new schedule can be difficult, but with this list of helpful tips, getting back in the swing of things shouldn’t be so bad.

Summer, for most college students, is a time to relax and renew. It’s a season where the nights are long and the days are hot (I think I heard that in a country song once). It’s a break from thinking about school or thinking in general. However, if you are hoping to keep up with the ever changing PR world, you have to keep that brain of yours on point! Instead of shutting down for the entire summer, do things that will encourage you to think outside of the box, while still enjoying the gorgeous weather and unforgettable nights.
