The summer is packed with graveyard hours of fun, excessive smoking sessions, and lots of delicious treats and ice cream. Whether you flew across the borders to visit unknown destinations trying new strains or you stayed up late every night watching your favorite series, one thing is for sure: school is back and it’s here to stay.
The adjustments and preparations students make prior to that start date is usually none – which can have a negative impact during your first few weeks; it can be hard and unmotivating to shake off the back-to-school blues. The first few weeks of school are key to how the rest of the year will unfold. Here are a few fundamental elements on how to kick off the new semester so your transition can still include a few bowls on the side.
Head Start
It’s like returning to the gym after three months of inertia. You’ll have to mentally exercise the brain gradually so you’ll be ready for that paper that’s assigned the first week. Stretching and warming up the brain before you hit the books is imperative. Pick up a book or magazine and start reading; it’s simple, but yet so effective. It doesn’t have to be hours of reading. A few minutes a day helps your mental gears start to rotate and gain that rhythm you need. The goal is to shift your relaxed mindset to an academic mindset. Download a few audiobooks and start listening to relevant content. Playing catch up and being late are not trends you want to showcase during the first days back in class.
Study Groups
The friends that stuck with you during summer get-togethers are the ones you’ll need to pull by the collar, group together and make a plan for how you're going to pass your classes. If your friends are anything like you, they know playing hard first requires that you work hard. We call these study groups, but they’re more of academic survival reunions during the first few weeks. Having someone to lean on, especially if you’re taking the same classes (having the same teacher is a plus), will help everyone included establish a solid foundation. You’ll have to add or include study reunions to your smoking reunions. They don’t have to be permanent, but if you set a trajectory for your school priorities, it’s much easier.

Just because shcool is back in session it doesn’t mean that you can’t have fun anymore. It's best to shine through your weekdays so you can seamlessly blow off steam during your weekends.
