Dealing with mid-semester stress

 The semester of Fall 2020 has definitely been different compared to the rest of my college experience. This is my first year going to classes fully online. I must admit the mid-semester stress is more instance than I am used to. To help others out here are some tips I use to make it manageable. My first tip is make a study schedule that allows you to still take a day or two free to just relax. My second tip is to create study groups. This tip is the most important to me because this is my preferred way of studying. My last tip is to find your own method of studying that works for you. I hope this tips help reduce your mid-semester stress. Good Luck!
