It's the most wonderful and most horrible time of the year.

Wonderful, yes because spring has arrived. The sun is shining warmly outside. Birds are chirping. Flowers and trees are blooming and you can finally go outside without a big puffy jacket.

Your motivation to live has returned after hibernating all winter and some days, you might actually feel like getting out of bed.

That is, until you realize what's waiting for you.

Horrible, yes. It's the end of April. This means all your professors are rushing to fit in everything they've missed this whole semester. You have assignment on top of assignment and still have to attend class. Plus, you need to start studying for finals.

You can't even enjoy the nice weather.

This is the time of the year when you question whether you really need a degree. Also, if every professor you have thinks you are only taking his or her class.

The days are getting longer but there are still not enough hours.

So here's my advice to you. Buckle down and get into work mode. The weather will still be nice after you finish your final exams and then you'll have three months free of any impending due date or sitting through a class you don't even need to graduate.

You can do this.
