The end of the semester is finally near, and with it the dreaded final exams. It’s especially important to take care of yourself, and to be in good shape so you can communicate what you’ve learned and how much you have grown academically.
If you want a few minutes distraction, check out this video on Why Perfect Grades Don’t Matter and comment below. Like all of my fellow students back in the day, my grades were far from perfect (don’t ask). But even so we held on to our dreams and sooner or later an opportunity appeared where we could show off our talents. So keep plugging away, making improvements where you can, and remember that you are not defined by your grades … Astronomy is probably the coolest subject there is. Even if it is hard sometimes, do try to keep up your enthusiasm and excitement.
