Happy (almost) spring break, retrievers! Here are some tips for making the most out of your well-earned week off:
-Get PLENTY of rest! Spring break is a great time to catch up on sleep, but you should also take a mental rest from all that homework. The weather is starting to turn and spring is really here, so get outside and move your body, catch up with friends and family, and sleep as much as you can.
-Do some research on summer internships and employment. You can find a lot of great information on the UMBC Career Center website, linked here. It is a great time to update your resume or draft some cover letters! You can also check out Biology and Chemistry research labs on campus by clicking on the relevant links. Take some time to check in with professors to see if they are taking undergraduate research assistants in their labs!
-Catch up on some homework! If you are a couple of days behind in your courses or you have some midterms coming up, this is a great time to get yourself situated. Schedule your study time (we recommend studying in 25-minute focused intervals with short breaks between each session) and to work!
Travel safely if you have a long way to go and have a restful, fruitful week off! We hope to see you back recharged and ready to give your all to the rest of the semester.
