It’s starting to get cold, it’s that awkward period between midterms, it’s that time of year. As someone who procrastinates very often, taking time off work and study has been a constant part of my life. But for those of you who have been consistently pushing yourself to the limit, please take a moment to just chill. Yes, there are deadlines to meet and grades to achieve, but none of that matters if you are able to push through this week and not the next. It is so important to recognize that you need a break.

I used to be ashamed of letting others know how much TV I actually watch. But now, who cares? I am the best person to judge what makes me relax and what gives me the break I need. It is all about you. Do something that makes you happy.

Some ideas for “Me” time: • Watch TV

• Socialize with friends
• Take a walk or go for a run • Sports
• Listen to or play music
• Read
• Get crafty

Take this opportunity before final exams roll around to reboot your brain, and don’t be afraid to speak up if you are stuck. Know that you have a great support system around you – your friends, advisors, family – we are all here for you.
