Work through the roommate problems that arise during the tense week of mid-term exams. Relationships with the significant other are starting to fall apart. Registering for next semester's classes means more decisions that have to be made. Thanksgiving break will be much needed, but it will seem too short. Don't spend the whole break worrying about due dates for projects or upcoming exams.
Final exams bring panic and anxiety.
Study and prepare for each exam. Take time for a stress break. If they don't, create your own. Don't feel like a stranger when you go home. Take time to readjust with your friends and family.
