Especially so this semester which is the first in-person college semester some of us have had in over a year. We\u2019re deep into the semester so it\u2019s easy to forget that. To me, this is the time of year where students really just have to bury their head and grind it out. A lot of us have more than just school to worry about too, such as sports, clubs, and other extracurriculars. Homework is sort of lame, but Winter break is definitely something to look forward to. So is next semester, for me and hopefully for a lot of other Maroons. A teacher of mine, Dr. Almeder, always reminds us to be kind to ourselves in the midst of stress.

Point being that school work is hard but good! Endure it now and make sure to make those happy memories when you can.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Chamberlain Zulauf \u201cI feel like the three weeks between Thanksgiving and Winter break is a huge stress to everyone on campus.
