That&#8217;s okay! It&#8217;s normal! So here are some tips to keep it all together:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 1em;margin-right: 1em\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large\"><span style=\"color: #351c75\"><span style=\"font-size: large\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><b><span style=\"color: blue\"><span style=\"color: #351c75\">&nbsp; <\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 1em;margin-right: 1em\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large\"><b><span style=\"color: blue\">Step 1: Take Care of You<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 1em;margin-right: 1em\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large\"><b><span style=\"color: blue\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Image result for vitamin d cartoon\" class=\"irc_mi i8fQo2XOS3d8-pQOPx8XEepE\" height=\"200\" src=\"http:\/\/www.clipartkid.com\/images\/194\/vitamin-d-and-you-food-and-health-communications-XuV8Sp-clipart.jpg\" style=\"margin-top: 0px\" width=\"197\" \/> <\/span><\/b><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 1em;margin-right: 1em\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large\"><span style=\"color: blue\"><span style=\"font-size: large\"><span style=\"color: #351c75\">Now that the days are shorter and a little gloomier, you need to make sure you are in good shape. That means good nutrition (get in all your vitamins, especially C &amp; D!), exercise, and sleep. The better you feel physically, the more productive you will be with your schoolwork.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 1em;margin-right: 1em\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 1em;margin-right: 1em\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large\"><span style=\"color: blue\"><span style=\"font-size: large\"><span style=\"color: #351c75\"><span style=\"color: blue\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large\"><b>Step 2: Stay Organized&nbsp;<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Image result for cartoon list checked off\" class=\"irc_mi i8fQo2XOS3d8-pQOPx8XEepE\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-Yl-bPThh18c\/T9UZipmrumI\/AAAAAAAAAos\/KW-KlUrPLk0\/s200\/to-do-list.jpg\" style=\"margin-top: 6px\" width=\"200\" \/><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 1em;margin-right: 1em\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large\"><span style=\"color: blue\"><span style=\"font-size: large\"><span style=\"color: #351c75\"><span style=\"color: blue\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large\"><span style=\"font-size: large\"><span style=\"color: #351c75\">Just because you only have a few assignments or exams left in each class, doesn&#8217;t mean you can slack off now. This is the final sprint! A good way to stay on top of things is to make lists. That way you won&#8217;t forget about anything and it feels good to physically cross out or check off items as you complete them.<\/span><\/span><b>&nbsp;<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 1em;margin-right: 1em\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 1em;margin-right: 1em\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large\"><span style=\"color: blue\"><span style=\"font-size: large\"><span style=\"color: #351c75\"><span style=\"color: blue\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large\"><b>Step 3: Stay Motivated<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 1em;margin-right: 1em\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large\"><span style=\"color: blue\"><span style=\"font-size: large\"><span style=\"color: #351c75\"><span style=\"color: blue\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large\"><b><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Image result for cartoon you can do it\" class=\"irc_mi i8fQo2XOS3d8-pQOPx8XEepE\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com\/564x\/22\/3e\/f9\/223ef96542351efbd26ff064a243dcaf.jpg\" style=\"margin-top: 0px\" width=\"200\" \/> <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 1em;margin-right: 1em\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large\"><span style=\"color: blue\"><span style=\"font-size: large\"><span style=\"color: #351c75\"><span style=\"color: blue\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large\"><span style=\"font-size: large\"><span style=\"color: #351c75\">There are<b> <\/b>four weeks left of classes and then finals week.
