This is what I like to call a very “blah” time of year. Halloween is over, the weather is in the process of turning from fall to winter, and Thanksgiving break seems so close yet so far away. Essays, midterms, and internships are starting to take a toll on everyone’s sanity. How can we escape college-induced stresses for even a few minutes at a time? That’s where I come in. Take some time out of your busy schedule to relax and enjoy these fun and informative links that all college students can appreciate:
