We did it. We have survived the first week of classes. Congratulations, this is debatably the hardest week of the semester, after finals. The first week back is always rough. Getting back into the swing of things after a long summer off is no easy task. Instead of lazy days lounging around, our days are now filled with work, class, extracurricular activities, homework and other random resume builders. If you’re feeling like you barely made it out of the first week of classes alive, this article is for you.
