Does anyone find it hard to study during breaks?

Published

I have the hardest time studying when I have breaks from school. Like right now we have christmas break and I really want to prep ahead for the upcoming semester but I just can't. I don't have the motivation.

I have not touched a single book so far. I feel guilty about it, but I can't help but feel like I need this time off. We work so hard during the semester, with no breaks. So I figure, why burn myself out more when I have time off? Yeah I may learn a few more concepts and diseases in advance.... But is it worth it?

(This being said, if I was retaking a class- I would definitely be studying for it)

I'm having a hard time, myself. I feel incredibly guilty but still continue to slack off! :blink:

I forced myself to complete one small project we have due at the beginning of the next term. Other than that I haven't done a thing school oriented and don't feel the least bit guilty. Break is time to relax, reconnect with family and friends, and do all those things that I've missed while in school.
