    Break Spring
AI Thread Summary
Many individuals experience a sense of regret after not utilizing spring break for academic advancement, feeling the pressure of falling behind. Acknowledging the need for a break is important, as it can help recharge mental energy. To recover from post-break sluggishness, focusing on the most interesting or easiest subjects first can reignite motivation and facilitate a smoother transition back to studying. It's also noted that for graduate students, the break may not fully alleviate work responsibilities, making it crucial to balance relaxation with academic obligations. Overall, taking time to unwind is essential, and with a bit of effort, getting back on track is achievable.

I had big plans, I was going to get way ahead in all of my courses over spring break, yet here it is Thursday and I am just cracking a book for the first time. I guess I did need the break. But I feel like an idiot now I'm making all sorts of stupid mistakes and I feel like I've been out of the game for years haha. Any one care to offer any sage advice on recovery from spring break laziness and brain deterioration?

Hmm, what I do to get back on track is just get to the subject that interests me the most (or is the easiest, whichever comes first) then that usually gives me enough motivation to get on to the others.
 
Well as a Grad Student, My recovery is quickly cause the break is just from classes and not from work and/or midterm projects and/or papers. However, Don't worry that much, you need to take a couple of days off to relax, and to focus on other stuff. You'll get back on track quickly.
 
guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
