I know it’s a premade meme, but someone calling me a friend feels so nice. Things have slowly been going downhill for a few years now, and being in the middle of my final exams doesn’t help either. After tomorrow, I’ll only need to take two more oral exams, and as scary as they are, once they’re over, I’ll hopefully be able to slow down and breathe for a few days. I’ve been telling myself that exact same thing for two years (“just a little longer, then I’ll have time to take a break”), but this time, I’m confident that I’ll be able to take that break.
Thank you for your kind words, thank you for being nice, and thank you for some awesome memes <3

Best of luck.

I find that taking breaks allows me to work more efficiently than if I had to work solid, at least in the long run. It is understandable needing to crunch when work is overwhelming but try to relax and recharge if you are able to. Do not feel guilty when taking breaks, especially when you really need them.
Another thing that is helpful is to actually move around, recently the snow has cleared enough around here for me to start biking to work again and it has dramatically improved my mood. It can be difficult to find time if active transport is not practical but trust me, it really helps.
