Handling crises

If a personal crisis happens, don't wait until you graduate to deal with it. Unresolved problems don't go away, and you will spend the intermediate time affected by the issues you did not want to confront.

Be compassionate with yourself. Find ways to handle your stress and anxiety. Taking time out to break the tension will bring you back to your work refreshed and more productive.
