Midterms are finished...phew!! Everyone is looking at their Sullivan webpage to see if they got an "S" or a "U". If you got the latter, don't let it discourage you, there is plenty of time to make it back on top.
There's 6 more weeks to go and this is usually when I notice the stress levels rise as the major projects begin. Papers and presentations kick off and the library gets busy, study groups form and tempers can flare. If you see this starting in your class, don't let it distract you from anything. You are here to make your life better, why let anything get in the way of that?
It's easy to give up and say you just don't get it, but you'll never know what you can accomplish if you aren't willing to push through the barriers. If you fail, there is another quarter coming up and you can try again. If people gave up after every time they failed at something, where would the world be? Are you going to let something stand in the way of you accomplishing what you set out to do? Push through and reap the rewards. Wayne Gretzky said it best, "You will miss 100% of the shots you don't take".
