How overcome Burnout syndrome

Have not landed an offer yet and recruiting has me very burned out. Still in some processes but knowing I have an interview later this week is the worst feeling in the world. Very grateful that I am even being considered and I certainly worked to get to that point, but the last couple of months have been focused on recruiting, classes, and studying. Have not had much time to have a lot of fun or relax as taking a day or two off gets me behind on deadlines and increases the stress. The burnout feeling has translated outside of recruiting as there are some classes I simply do not have motivation to finish on a strong note. I know that once summer comes around and I am working, back in my home town, and with family/friends/gf that I will feel much better. Any advice on how to power through these last couple of weeks. How do you deal with this outside of college? I'm sure this won't be the first time I feel this.

You gotta take 2-3 days off and do your own thing and then come back to it all. If it’s possible then get ahead of your homework for those days then relax for a bit. I get ahead of my work and then ease the gas pedal for a few days while completing 1 assignment a day to stay ahead then I repeat. Sounds easy but takes discipline.
