You probably feel inclined to take a lot of naps, watch a lot of TV, and stay in and the weather certainly doesn't help with that. Well, here's the first tip: Don't give in to those inclinations all the time. It's great to have some "me time" but staying in all the time can also bring you down. Spending time with your friends doing things you enjoy will help to stave off the mid-semester blues.
Here's another tip: Try out a change of scenery. Going through the same routine day in and day out can be rather monotonous. Give yourself a break from that daily grind and go on a little adventure. That might just be checking out a neighborhood nearby that you've never visited or it could be as out there as taking a weekend to explore somewhere a bit farther away. The fall colors are still vibrant and beautiful so try to enjoy them if you can.
If you can't get a change of scenery, here's something else to try: Work something enjoyable into your schedule. Play a board game, watch a movie, find some way to keep yourself engaged with the semester.
However you choose to deal with the mid-semester slump, don't forget to get out there and enjoy life. And one last tip: Wearing a book as a hat will not help you study. Some of us learned that the hard way.
