Me oh my!\u00a0 Midterms are already here?\u00a0 How can that be? It feels like yesterday everyone moved in, bright eyes and eager for what\u2019s to come.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Most people can agree that this first semester has been rough.\u00a0 Weeks fly by and it feels impossible to catch up.\u00a0 Assignments are becoming difficult to complete, and the lack of motivation chains you further from your accomplishments.\u00a0 The best part of falling down the rabbit hole, is clawing your way back up to success.\u00a0 The smallest victories mean the most sometimes.\u00a0 Since midterms are approaching faster than we would like, some tips to deal with midterm blues can help relieve some stress.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n First, make a schedule and set goals for yourself!
