Struggling to survive week 7? You’re not the only one!

Oh no, we’re halfway through the semester. To most, if not all, of us, this means that mid-semester exams are just around the corner. When that happens, there are generally two types of students – the ones who sit around and procrastinate (like myself) and the ones that are currently working super hard to excel…
