1. You’re Dreaming of Beaches and Lazy Days by the Pool

One sign you’re ready for the semester to end is that you’re dreaming of beaches and lazy days by the pool. Your mind is on the activities of summer. It’s certainly not on school. It’s difficult when you’re feeling this way. This is when you just have to make up your mind to power through the rest of the semester and know your hard work will pay off.

2. You’re Experiencing Big Time Burnout

Burnout can happen, even to the best of students. Honestly, if you’re experiencing burnout then you’re more than likely a good student. You’ve probably pushed yourself to do your best all year and now you’re feeling it. Tell yourself to hang in there just a little longer. The semester is almost over and you’ll have all summer to recuperate from your burnout.

3. You Have to Force Yourself to do Your Homework

I remember this feeling well. At the end of a semester, you just want to be done with all the homework, projects and finals. This is a sure sign you’re ready for summer. Hang in there and promise yourself a nice reward when you’ve reached the end of all your classes. That can help you push yourself through that last bit of school.

4. The Thought of School Makes You Feel Big Time Dread

Do you feel dread when it’s time to go to school? That’s a typical symptom of the end of semester blues! Hang in there just a little bit longer. Remember that your dread will soon turn into excitement at having a whole summer stretched out before you to relax. When dread seems really bad, make a mental list of all the things you want to do this summer.

5. You Get Very Excited at the Thought of the Semester Ending

Does the thought of the semester ending make you feel over the moon excitement? Summer is a well-deserved reward after a long semester of hard work and dedication. Long days filled with summertime activities are just the medicine you need after all that work. Everyone needs balance in their life. Hard work needs to be balanced with play and relaxation.

6. Your Calendar Has a Countdown on It

Does your calendar have a countdown on it? That’s a sign you’re ready for the semester to end. Putting a countdown on your calendar can help you get through the last few days. It gives you the motivation you need to keep going. It’s a lot of fun to mark each day off, too.
