It’s that dreaded time again...

Midterms. Withdraw Deadlines. Papers. Projects.

College kids everywhere are flooding the libraries, hoping to cram in 2 months’ worth of work into 2 short weeks. Only second to finals, this is the most stressful time of the semester. We’re all scrambling to get our heads on straight and pray to the College Gods that we make it through without losing half a semester of progress.

If you’re a procrastinator like me, you’re catching up on your studying, reading massive amounts of your textbooks, googling answers, and praying Quizlet has them all. Also If you’re a procrastinator like me: circa 3 years ago, you’ll be waking up early the morning of the exam to do all your vigorous, rapid studying while simultaneously eating cereal and crying. However, please don’t be that person. Get it done this weekend, or not at all.

If you’re a do-gooder, like so many of my friends and family, you’ve been counting down the days to midterms for months. Your lists and calendars have been marked and highlighted and you’ve done a little bit to prepare each week for your exams. You might do a little reviewing this weekend, but overall, you’re fully prepared and confident. If this is you, I SALUTE YOU. (Let me be you.)

With your future up in the air, and the winds of uncertainty taunting you this week, take a moment to: stop and breath, realize that YOU CAN DO THIS, and once it’s done, it’s done. Put in the time, study your ass off, make an A, and move on. Just remember you’ll have to do it all over again when finals roll around. ;) Thanks for reading.
