Congratulations, collegiettes™! I’d like to give you all a well-deserved, much-needed pat on the back for reaching the halfway point in the Fall semester. Though getting through the first half of this busy semester is a great accomplishment, we all know that now is the time for that relentless mid-semester slump in motivation and enthusiasm. With winter break on our minds and the dread of final exams looming in the distance, you might start to wonder how you’ll get through it all with your sanity intact. Thanks to some helpful products from this year’s #HCSurvivalKits, we’re starting to realize that it’s possible to get through it all in one piece.
