I see each semester as a mile race. After running many miles in my day, I find it an appropriate parallel. Okay undergrads, we are embarking on the bell lap, the final 400 meters of the semester.
If you are anything like me, by now you have hit the brick wall. Your quads and hammies are chock-full of lactic acid (aka. your brain would rather stare blankly into the infinite abyss than process anymore information). Ah, but you see, this is the most important lap. To give up now would be to sacrifice all of your effort in the previous three. It's time to turn on the jets and high tail it to the finish line, where hard work translates to endless glory (a great transcript). Starting to see the analogy?
There is good news. We can see the light at the end of the tunnel! Finals conclude in just three weeks time. Three weeks of dedicated hard work and we are home for the holidays. With the end in sight, I say, let your goals pull you forward. Let your dreams put wings on your ankles.
During your victory lap, make sure you sing "Celebrate Me Home." ;)
