No matter how hard you try, you can't avoid it.

Around midterms every semester, there seems to be the same atmosphere on every college campus. The pressure of stress, anxiety and lack of sleep overtakes college students as they struggle to complete the last few months of their classes.

Even if you don't think you're in the mid-semester funk...you are. Never fear, there are ways to get past it!

1. Admit that school is stressful

First step to overcoming anything, is admitting what the problem is. All students want to be able to handle everything. Surprise, you can't.

2. Accept that temporarily your life feels like a down-hill spiral

This might be dramatic, but it's college so it is okay!

3. Make a list of everything that you need to accomplish in the next 2 weeks.

Just start with 2 weeks. Worry about the rest later.

4. Then call your mom and cry about it

She will be the one person that is always on your side, even if you're wrong about something.

5. Even after crying to your mom, it's always good to cry some more to get all the tears out

Just let out all your stress into some tears, then you'll feel refreshed. Hopefully.

6. Tackle that work! You got this!

Take a hint from Nike and just do it.

7. Celebrate in your own way

Whether it's hanging with your friends or napping away your problems, you do you!
