Happy Halloween, everyone! With the stress of midterms just starting to ramp down, it’s been prime time to attend the fall festivities a college campus has to offer. At my university, there were plenty of fun fall events to get everyone in the spirit. Movie trips, pumpkin decorating, and even Halloween plushie stuffing were some of the fun events held this season. Although, with these fun events comes the tricky task of keeping the balance between fun and academics. This has been a tricky line for me to balance lately, so to combat getting lost in the season’s festivities, I’ve been making sure to diligently write down all of my academic responsibilities in order of importance because due dates can easily get lost when consumed with the season’s festivities. I love taking a small chunk out of my day to sit in the lounge and make time for myself to look through everything so I can leave school feeling confident about what I have to do before the day ends. Juggling social life and a rough academic schedule takes quite a bit of work, but definitely becomes attainable once you create a routine and a pace that works for you!
