Hey fellow Mustangs, I can't imagine how weird this year has been for you. I graduated last year right as Covid started to change things, so I have some idea, but so much as progressed since then. University is hard enough without the stress that Covid adds. Know that you are doing so amazingly by just simply "being". While your studies and grades are important, they are not nearly as important as your overall health, specifically your mental health. Lean on the people around you- take the time you need for self care- and treat yourself with the kindness you treat others with. Try to remember that everything is temporary, that we are living in the most unprecedented times, and that it is okay not to be okay. You are strong and are doing your best. YOU'VE GOT THIS!
