Tougher year than most but pay attention to the messages to take care of yourself. When you feel overwhelmed, give yourself permission to take an hour or two off and do something completely unrelated to your educational obligations. It's amazing how you can get things back in perspective. Know that there are lots of us that have been there and also know you can make it through tough times. Stay connected to your support system and talk about your feelings and fears.
