Whether you’ve maximized your productivity or procrastinated by binge watching Netflix, it is important not to be too hard on yourself.
Gift yourself the gift of relaxation. You’ve made it to the end of the semester. That is an accomplishment in itself. Like everything in life, school has its ups and downs and sometimes you find you’re spreading yourself too thin.
Finals season can be extremely overwhelming and knowing your grade is at stake makes it even more nerve wrecking.
Take this semester as an experience to learn from. Reflect on your growth and what you can work on.
One bad grade does not define you. Challenge yourself to do better next semester.
If there is one thing college has taught me it is that you're going to make mistakes and you are going to fail. It's up to you to decide whether you will embrace it and come back stronger or slack off and become stagnant. All this means is that you are better equipped to take on next semester full force with more experience under your belt.
You deserve a clean slate.
Leave your grades to God and keep pushing. Take this break to recollect and work on yourself. What’s in the past is in the past.
Relax, getting overwhelmed doesn't help your productivity or growth and certainly does not put you in the right mindset to create bigger and better goals for the next semester.
If you are someone who works hard all year, be confident in the work that you have done this year and that your hard work will pay off.
