Although I fully support taking time to decompress and catch up on your favorite TV shows&#8230; it&#8217;s always a good idea to use some free time to get ahead. Here are just a few helpful tips on how to stay ahead of the game when break rolls around!<br \/>\n<strong>Get Ahead of the To Dos:<\/strong> After a few days of unwinding, I always check my to-do list on while break. Not only do I check for what I had assigned over the break, but I like to see what projects I will have to tackle in the next few weeks. This helps me get a head start to the tasks I will have to take on. I can use my time to create my personal portfolio for job applications as well. In the end, I have more time to relax and feel less stressed completing my work.<br \/>\n<strong>Get Ahead of the Job Hunt:<\/strong> More recently as a final semester senior, I have been using my break and free time to consider my future (eep!). Whether it be an &#8220;end-goal&#8221; career or internship to get a foot in the door, it is always good to keep updated with positions currently listed in your field. Spending some of the free time I have to prepare for my post-college life has allowed me to explore my options and decide what I want to pursue after undergrad. Of course, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitnyc.edu\/academics\/cic\/\">FIT&#8217;s Career and Internship Center<\/a> that is a useful tool for this process as well.<br \/>\n<strong>Get Ahead of the SLEEP!\u00a0<\/strong>As silly as it sounds, I have been using my time to catch up on more than emails- break allows for the necessary recuperation time to finish the semester on a high note. I been able to enjoy time with family, friends, and map out a plan for my last weeks of college.<br \/>\nHow do you spend your breaks? Hopefully some of you have been able to unwind, and maybe even hit the beach&#8230; I know that&#8217;s my first stop during summer for sure!<\/p>\n<p>Best break wishes,<br \/>\nAnnmarie x<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello Everyone, It&#8217;s that time of the semester where we are granted a much appreciated week of (hopeful) rest and relaxation!
