It's that point in the semester where things are just getting exhausting. Homework is stacking up, and it is getting harder to remember to take care of yourself.

Overcommitment is definitely an issue that college students face, and it is important to be aware of it in your own life, and in the lives of your friends. Take care of your friends, and support them when they have a lot going on in their lives because, in the end, it will help so much.

"Learning to love yourself is like learning to walk—essential, life-changing, and the only way to stand tall." – Vironika Tugaleva
