This semester has been stressful, and if you're anything like me, the last thing you want to do is roll out of bed and work on yet another essay or project that's due much too soon. Yet with work, time, and some affirmations we can end strong and finally get to the summer break we deserve (or at least the two weeks off before we start a job). Just say your favorites in the mirror and try and really feel them as you work through far too many hours of homework. Affirmations work (for more on that click here), and here are just a few to help you finish strong this year.
