Keep Calm and Survive Midterms

End of September and early October can be the best of times and the worst of times. Football season is in full force, fall clothing has arrived, but then so have midterms.

At the beginning of the semester, you get your syllabus in each class and already know that you will have at least one hell-week ahead of you. This hell-week consists of two papers and three midterms in the span of two days, while still dealing with the FOMO of wanting to go out but knowing you should stay in and study. However, you forget about the hell-week cause you figure it's so far away, until all of a sudden it's the end of September and you know that all your exams are next week.

But just remember it will all be okay, since after tomorrow, your hell-week will be over.

It's the morning of your exams, and you just are thinking...

But then all of sudden it's over with and your hell-week is over. Your first instinct is to jump up and down in happiness, and your second is...

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
