Have mid-semester blues? You can do it! Just remember we’re all in this together

The middle of the Fall 2014 semester has arrived. The middle of the semester signals the beginning of some wonderful things, such as the ability to start tentatively unpacking your sweaters in preparation for cooler weather and the onslaught of the pumpkin spice flavor being marketed in every single food product imaginable.
