Coming into everyone's first month into the semester, I thought taking a look at the word balance might calm any anxiety about school work, classes, friends, employment, families or anything that might be on the mind. A lot has happened these past few weeks, and stressing is probably what most of us are doing; I know I am. But in order to get through the rest of the semester and life we need balance; so take a second and breath, meditate, talk, listen to music, workout or do whatever it is that helps de-stress you because it will be okay, even if it isn't right now! And remember to take time out of the day for yourself, because it's not all about school work and grades; you have to find the balance for a great semester. So be like these rocks, and rock on this semester.
