Call us maybe? Midterm Edition
Midterms are right around the corner! Some of you may have already begun to take your midterms. Keep in mind that both the LASSO and Academic Development Center are here to help you out! It can be a struggle tobalance school, RLC programs, work, and regular life- don't forget to stop and take a deep breath sometimes! Also, the power of a nap is underrated! Remember: You must attend 7 out of 10 RLC programs, so ifyou need to spend a night studying, that is perfectly acceptable. Keep up your awesome work, and continue to make a difference in your communities! And as always, if you need anything, your LMs are here for you!
