We've all been there. Your to-do list is a mile long, you keep adding assignments and responsibilities to your planner (in barely readable chicken scratch), and you're trying to stay sane amidst the whirlwind of midterms and projects. It's important to keep our eyes up as we make our way toward the highly coveted responsibility-free week that is spring break. Keep calm, say a prayer, sip some coffee, and keep on moving. Here are some verses from the "Bible" to help you get through midterms.
