November is in my opinion the hardest month of the school year. You begin feeling a little burnt out and overwhelmed. November brings in the closing assignments and preparation for the final exams. Plus, you have the holiday stress added onto you as well. How can students avoid burnout during this time and be successful finishing up the year? 1. Avoid procrastination. Don’t push assignments off until the end of the semester, you will ultimately become overwhelmed and will most likely not be able to fulfill all of your assignments (or not well at least). 2. Communicate with your professors. Your professors are human, communicate if you fall back on assignments or if you are struggling. They are here to help! 3. Allow yourself time to rest. Do not be so hard on yourself. You are trying your best, let your mind, body, and soul recover. Let’s face it, the hardest part of the system is done. Now, it’s time to show all you have learned and finish the semester on a high note.  

There's only a few days left until Black Friday and it got me thinking… As a child, I remember seeing huge deals that people would wait outside for hours waiting to snag the hottest new item- but now Black Friday shopping is so uneventful. The sales are just not worth it. Plus, you can easily order the item by the click of a button. Amazon has really transformed how we look at shopping. It makes me sad though because the experience was fun and got people excited. It was almost in a sense its own holiday. I want stores to bring these deals back and get people shopping in stores again!
