Summer can be an extremely busy time filled with work, school, vacations and kids out of school. It’s challenging juggling it all without being exhausted. As an online student, it can be even harder blocking off time for school without having a classroom to go to. Here are some tips on how to balance life while maintaining your grades, sleep and fun, summer plans.  

School

Summer school can be challenging due to its fast-pace and heavy load. It can be easy to get behind in class. Ways to overcome this is by creating a calendar and writing down important due dates, exams and online lectures. Have reminders on your electronic devices so you don’t lose track of due dates. In your calendar, make a daily schedule where you block off time for completing school work everyday.

Vacations

Summertime is the time for vacations, but school still continues. If you’re worried about how you will complete school work and enjoy your vacation, here are some helpful suggestions. First, plan your entire vacation out. Figure out what you are going to do and make sure not to overbook yourself. Find time to complete school work as a break in the day. Make sure the place you’re staying at has free WiFi. If not, find a coffee shop or other places that provide free WiFi. Make sure to pack your laptop and charger too.

Children

Not sure how to entertain your kids while trying to learn all summer? Well, think about having your kids go to camp. This is a great way to make sure your kids have a fun summer while you have time to yourself. If camp is not an option, consider activities like coloring books, going to the library, puzzles and other activities that allow you to focus on school.
