  In the midst of being out and about all week in the boro, Sundays in Statesboro are crucial to maintaining a balanced lifestyle. 

From a practical standpoint

The most important thing is to make a plan. It's all about finding the right balance between productivity and relaxation. Planning your day is key to ensuring you make the most of your time, but it's also important to listen to your body and give yourself the rest you need. 

First things first, let's talk about

The Sunday Reset

This is crucial to success as a college student nowadays with all the pressure we have on our shoulders. Sundays are the one day a week nobody seems to rush. It's a day meant for relaxation, reflection, and rejuvenation. 

Be Ambitious. I want you to write down anything and everything you have been procrastinating, holding off, adventures you have wanted to take, places you wish you have gone to out and about in the boro, Assignments you have to get done, chores, self-care, and errand that have accumulated and been neglected. Do not hold back.

Here is an example: 

• Plan an appointment, before your cruise

• Go grocery shopping 

• Eat breakfast, lunch, dinner 

• Get active/ workout

• Do something for you today

• Email your professor back, from last week 

• 3 assignments on McGraw Hill due at 11:59 pm 

• Mani/ Pedi 

• Church at 11 am 

• Respond to 2 discussion posts

• Clean Room, Car, Living Room

• Dishes

• Laundry 

• Plan Spring break

• Study for Biology Exam

• Plan SARC exams (3 days in advance)

• Vacuum 

Now order them from most important to least important and if there is a deadline or you just need to get it done. 

If you start your Sunday with a trip to church, consider treating yourself to a delicious meal afterward. There are plenty of great options in Statesboro, such as The Beaver House or El Som, Gnats, Del, or Sugar Magnolias.

If you prefer a study day to grind out all the work you held off doing all week. For those who need to catch up on work or studying, take advantage of the newly opened Cool Beans and The Boro Bagel Company on Sundays. Many apartment complexes in town also offer study rooms, and the Henderson Library is equipped with Wi-Fi and printers.

Feeling like you need to clear your mind?

Do you want to escape for a little while, you feel you have been in your house all day, want to get out and about, you can  Hop in your car and go for a Sunday drive. Exploring the back roads of Statesboro can be therapeutic and refreshing, allowing you to appreciate the beauty of our town. You could easily, hop in your car and go for a Sunday drive to clear your mind. These are my favorite things to do because you not only get to listen to your favorite music, but it can be quite therapeutic to escape town and explore the back roads of Statesboro, Georgia. On these drives, you can breathe and take in the beauty our town has to offer. 

You can always end the night by gathering around the bonfire with friends and or alone in your room.

Don't forget to prioritize your health and wellness.

Whether it's treating yourself to a healthy meal, getting some exercise at one of the local parks, the gym, or the greenway, or simply taking time to relax and pamper yourself, self-care is essential for a balanced life.

You can head over to the RAC, Planet Fitness, 180-Fitness, or even your apartment complex Clubhouse Gym.  Even just getting out of the house to walk your neighborhood can be good for you. With everything going on I think it can cross our minds that we aren’t just here for school, we are living here and each day isn't just a school day. You could out and about and go shopping downtown or even just to Tj-Maxx.

We have a Publix now, so be sure to fuel your body and go grocery shopping for the week. Publix has meals that are premade if you don’t prefer to cook. You could even just grab a pub sub and head to the pool for some vitamin D. Next to Publix make sure to treat yourself to a Tropical Smoothie, Crumble Cookie, and or even get a haircut or your nails done at Annie’s a local favorite. 

But sometimes, what you need most is rest. It's okay to sleep in and order takeout from your favorite restaurants in Statesboro. Remember, it's the weekend – work to rest your soul. Trust me, we all have those days where you just want to curl up and not do anything, and that’s okay too.

Ultimately, Sundays are about more than just school or work – they're an opportunity to recharge and enjoy the present moment.

So whether you're tackling your to-do list or simply taking it easy, make sure to make the most of your Sunday in Statesboro.

As the week comes to an end, we're blessed with one day meant to allow for a break. Sundays are the one day a week that signifies an end to a taxing week and the start of a new one. It's 24 hours that you can use to your advantage – or not.

Sundays in Statesboro offer something for everyone. So, as you plan your next Sunday in Statesboro, remember: anything is possible on a Sunday in the Boro.
