What We Do

Spring break represents a week to travel home, catch up with neglected tasks, or coordinate a trip with friends. This time away from an orchestrated schedule provides the ideal opportunity to look ahead and consider what you want to achieve for the remainder of the spring semester. Look at your class schedule. Are you using that 2-hour period between classes to review class notes or handle reading assignments? Have you carved out time to visit Pottruck at least 3 times per week? What about coordinating times to catch up with friends over dinner in 1920 Commons? Daylight Saving Time might mean losing 1 hour of sleep for one night, but the additional daylight is a boost to one’s spirits. It seems that life is brighter and more vibrant with spring colors, warmer temperatures, and outdoor activities. In addition to the burst of spring activities, which boost one’s energy and mood, the dilemma occurs: Balancing academic responsibilities in line with all the extraordinary spring events such as drama and choral performances, not to mention the weekend parties. As the sunny side of the semester emerges, reap the moments and participate in the activities that abound.

Remember that the Weingarten Center staff are here for you if you want to brush up on time management skills or get advice about handling a research paper. Take advantage of drop-in tutoring. Consult with Disability Services if you have a question about your accommodations. Keep that sunny attitude and remember the Weingarten Center serves as one of your resources that contribute to your success and happiness.
