Did you know you can upload pictures? You can. I commented about this picture in a comment (word play, self-five). But, in all seriousness, I feel like I need to say this to you all after reading some of your posts. Hang in there, baby.
I have found that when I am overwhelmed it helps me a lot to pull out my planner (you don't have a planner? get one. seriously) and look at the lists of things I have to do. Somehow, it becomes more manageable to see things in a list. I puts them in a controllable capacity. Then, do it. I think a lot of the time we shut down, blow it off, so on, so forth. Stop doing that. I think you will find if you actually do what you need to instead of panicking about it things become less stressful.
Mostly, remember that you can do it. You are here, in college, for a reason. You are here, in the honors college, for a reason. You are all extraordinary people who can efficiently accomplish the tasks ahead of you.
And if it is all just too much, and for the love of God some days it is and you have to realize that, there is always someone to help you. We have a lovely community in the honors college that should be taken advantage of at every opportunity, even if it's just to blow off steam.
Good luck. And hang in there.
