academically, there are consequences to blowing off class and/or assignments. socially, there can be costs associated with decisions to skip or attend a party. within the involvement and student employee world (where i meet students most often), the outcome of a bad decision can have an equally large impact. the cost for missing a shift can be as extreme as losing one's job.

- breathe. take a step back from what's overwhelming you and take a few deep breaths.
- take a walk. get away from where you often hang out and spend some time outside.
- make a list...make multiple lists if needed. list the assignments/projects you have to do. list the commitments to clubs/groups you're a part of. list other things that are stressing you out.
- determine priorities. review the list(s) made & decide on what's most important and tackle those things first.
- keep moving. don't feel paralyzed by seeing everything spelled out. when you start to feel overwhelmed repeat steps 1 & 2.
if all else fails, start singing! find your favorite tune(s) of the moment and blast them...dance it out if necessary. yes, i said sing & dance it out!
happy mid-terms, friends!
