Today, I finished midterm three of four and I’m feeling a lot more optimistic than I did when this week first started. I hope all our readers are feeling the same optimism, now that the finish line is in sight. We got some great responses from students about how they like to de-stress after a hectic midterm period, and it appears that in a few weeks time, there will be much sleeping, eating, and Netflix binges happening around campus! We’ve compiled all the responses from our contest, and the responses from the ten winners have been bolded.
