It\u2019s officially that time of the semester when I realize I probably should have been studying more. Midterms are coming up, and suddenly every professor is reminding us about exams, assignments, and everything else we somehow forgot about.<\/p>\n
My usual routine has become finding a spot in the library, getting a snack, opening my laptop, and convincing myself I\u2019m going to be productive. Sometimes I actually study. Other times, I end up talking with friends or taking a \u201cfive-minute\u201d break that somehow turns into thirty minutes.<\/p>\n
College midterms can definitely feel stressful, but I\u2019m learning that it\u2019s okay to take a break, ask for help, and not have everything figured out. At the end of the day, we\u2019re all just trying to survive our first semester!<\/p>\n
Wish me luck!<\/p>\n
