And another note – it's getting to that time of the quarter where it feels like, with so many assignments and midterms and deadlines, there aren't enough hours in the day and the world is ending. I encourage you to take a deep breath. I know that it's super easy to get caught up in the grind at school, especially at Stanford, but it's just as important that we are all taking care of ourselves; we can't let school get in the way of our own wellbeing. So inhale, exhale, and make sure to take care of yourself; all will be okay.

That's all for now – have a great week 6! (already??)
