Well friends, college is back in full swing. Classes are continuously ramping up, assignments are constantly being sent out and sent back, and all the pressure is back to bubbling in the recesses of our consciousness. So what do we do when things start to get tough? If you said "actually face our problems head on and in an organized fashion," what is wrong with you? If you answered "binge watch/game until the pressure gets too much and we finish everything in a sleepless and caffeinated frenzy," then have I got some recommendations for you!
