Over the past couple of weeks I have had a very gradual epiphany of life. This may sound very broad, and perhaps it is, but it is also all-encompassing. During Thanksgiving Break, I dabbled in some homework here and there and helped assist the family in packing up the house from time to time. Believe it or not, I even had time to play some video games…or did I?
A job application had to be submitted by Monday, along with an assignment for one class and an essay for another. Tuesday, in addition to spending nearly 6 hours tutoring, I need to make corrections to a previous assignment, submit suggestions to a classmate for a presentation that’s due on Wednesday. Moreover, I need to type up and submit a resume and a cover letter for a class on Wednesday. Come Thursday, I need to begin preparing a presentation for another class along with studying for 2 finals and writing 2 more essays.
Now I’ve spent the past 48 hours frantically running to and fro, stressed out beyond belief. I didn’t even take a deep breath…until now. I’ve realized that, rather than stressing out over challenges, they should be welcomed with open arms and then tackled. So…fellow students, I invite you as well to sit where you are for a good minute and take several deep breaths and view the impending challenges from a positive perspective. Seriously: breathe in through the nose, hold it for two seconds, and breathe out through your mouth. Repeat this process for an entire minute…you’ll be glad you did!
Best of luck to all! Now GO GET ‘EM!!! :D

Great advice, I've been doing this for years when things get hectic. If you don't take the time to stop and just take a few nice, deep breaths, you will simply succumb to the overwhelming sensation that comes with trying to manage so many things at once.
Cheers,
Daniel.
