It\u2019s so easy to get wrapped up in school work, jobs, and other responsibilities that the semester passes by in a blink of an eye. I try to live in the moment, but I\u2019m sure many can agree that it\u2019s not that easy. This is my last semester in Boston because I will be spending my final semester in LA through the COM Internship Program. I have come up with a few ways to help me live in the moment and enjoy my last few weeks in Beantown before heading out for good!<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Set time for yourself.<\/strong><br \/>\nIt\u2019s so easy to get caught up in the moment, but it is so important to set some time apart for yourself. With stress from classes, internships, and other extra-curriculars, prioritizing \u201cme time\u201d helps you take a step back, relax, and appreciate everything you have accomplished so far. I try to do this by working out, going on a walk, watching a movie, or meditating. This helps me live in the moment and enjoy a break from everything else in my life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>\u00a0Don\u2019t plan too much.<br \/>\n<\/strong>I feel like I\u2019m constantly planning throughout the semester, between setting time for club meetings, work schedules, and other activities, it\u2019s difficult to live in the moment because I am always thinking about what\u2019s ahead. But, a goal for this month is to not plan too much during my free time and to act spontaneously. Instead of constantly thinking about what\u2019s next, I will try to live in the moment and enjoy what is going on in the now.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Make time for friends.<\/strong><br \/>\nAlthough there may be a lot going on between school and work, making time for friends is essential. Especially since I only have a few weeks left with my friends in Boston, I am trying to enjoy my time with them as much as possible. After a busy week of classes, homework, and work, I find hanging out with my friends is a great way to take a break and relax. With time flying by, spending time with them helps me live in the moment and enjoy the now.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0With this semester going so fast, I hope these tips help you learn to live in the moment and enjoy every second at BU!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s the beginning of November, and I can\u2019t believe this semester is almost over.
