It has been so busy and stressful for the past six weeks. From group projects to papers to executing our event… to now studying for finals and working and researching grad schools… it’s been a lot.
Not to say that I haven’t been the only one to be stressing. If you’ve paid attention to our articles recently, it seems like my entire team is going through a rough time. From relationships to family troubles to medical issues, we’re all there. And I’m sure we’re not the only ones.
But the best thing to keep in mind is to remember to just keep swimming, originally said by the lovely Ellen Degeneres, but mentioned by my teammate Cassidy Dyce in her article about the best quotes to get you through finals.
Our event for the NATASHA House went so well — we raised over $500 for them! Thanks so much to everyone who participated, attended, and enjoyed it! My team definitely knocked that out of the park, and I will be forever grateful for all that my team did at the last minute for me to make the event great. We’ve got some tricks up our sleeves for next semester, so be on the lookout for announcements about it all!
Also, we got our awesome Holiday Survival Kit! A bunch of stuff from various partners were sent to us, like makeup, books, and more… and if you were one of the lucky ones on campus yesterday, you were given a goodie bag by one of our team members filled with them!
Once finals are over, we’ll all be home, cuddling with our pets, enjoying hot chocolate and friends. Some of us will travel, others of us will get surgery (yay me!), and some will get to spend their holiday on a staycation — all of those options are great!
Stick out the finals week stress, Captains, and enjoy your break!
