It’s midterms y’all, and if you’re like me you’ve got three papers, two midterms, an oral exam to prepare for, on TOP of the normal reading and busy work assigned.

I’m not even talking about the other day to day human responsibilities you have too.

 

 

It’s a lot to handle, and everything is seeming to scream “pay attention to me!”

 

 

You’ve “joked” about dropping out at least fifteen times to your roommate.

 

 

I’d be so much easier to just ignore your work, leave that bag of laundry until next week, and just click next episode on House of Cards.

 

 

But you’re not going to!

 

 

You’re actually going to stick to your resolution of staying on top of your school work. If you’ve failed going to the gym at least three times a week, you still have this resolution to redeem yourself with.

 

 

You’re gonna blow your professors minds with the high quality work you turned in on time.

 

 

You’re gonna sit down, break out your highlighters, use those flash cards gathering dust, chug that cup of coffee, and power through what you need to get done.

Don’t forget to breathe and call your mom when needed.

 

You’ve made it this far in the term. Believe in yourself and get down to business. You got this!
