Studying in Spring – Tips for Students and Parents

The sun is out, temperatures are rising, and everything feels like a holiday... but for many students, spring is a key moment in the run-up to the summer exams. The Easter break is often the perfect time to catch up, stay on track, or even get ahead.

• Are you a student finding it hard to stay inside and study when the weather is this nice?
• Or a parent wondering how to support your child during these sunny but crucial weeks?

Here are some practical and uplifting tips to help you study smarter – and still enjoy the season.

Study outside – enjoy the weather while staying productive

Turn your terrace, balcony or garden into the ultimate spring study spot:

• Use a sturdy table and comfortable chair outside.
• Stay in the shade (or use a parasol) to protect your books and laptop.
• Wear a hat, apply sunscreen, and keep a big bottle of water nearby.
• Try LoFi or calm music playlists (like LoFi Girl or Group Therapy) to stay focused.

 🌀  Pro tip: If you have hay fever, don’t forget your antihistamines!

Take active breaks outside

Even if you study indoors, make sure your breaks happen outdoors. Why?
🚴 Fresh air + movement = better focus + brain boost.

• Cycling to grab a quick ice cream
• Going for a short jog or a brisk walk
• Playing with your siblings or pets in the garden
• Jumping on a trampoline or swimming a few laps

Make mealtimes sunny moments

Everybody needs to eat – so why not eat outside?

• Enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner in the sun with the whole family.
• Organise a spontaneous spring BBQ to break up the day.
• Treat yourself or your child to fresh fruits or a mocktail.

🍓 Good food = good mood = better focus.

Keep your goals in mind

Yes, it’s tough to study while others are out enjoying the sunshine. But remind yourself (or your child) why studying now is worth it:

• No summer resits or stress
• More freedom and fun in July & August
• Better results and more confidence

👩‍👧 Parent tip: Keep motivation positive. Encouragement works better than pressure.

Make studying feel good

Studying in spring doesn’t have to be a punishment. With small changes, it can even be enjoyable:

• Create a nice study space
• Plan short but rewarding breaks
• Celebrate small wins every day

📅 Consider using a study schedule with mini-rewards (e.g. 2h study = 30 min in the sun).

Conclusion

Studying in spring can be both effective and enjoyable – with the right mindset and strategy. Whether you’re a student or a parent, this season can be a turning point before the big exams.
