And let the end of the semester chaos begin. If you are a college student, I wish you luck these next few weeks. We are in this together. If you know a college student, buy them a caffeinated drink and send them encouraging messages because they will need it.
And if you want something to do during your Pomodoro breaks or to avoid doomscrolling, the Minnesota Daily has a lot for you to read, watch and listen to.
Stay golden,
