We get to spend time with friends and family that we otherwise wouldn\u2019t be able to contact while at Wabash, and we can do so without having to worry about loads of essays and assignments coming in. Seriously, sometimes it seems that just before breaks is when we get hit the hardest (although that makes sense, considering that they want us to get as much done as we can before we go away and begin to forget what we just learned&#8230; not saying that I\u2019ve forgotten anything).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_708\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-708\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.wabash.edu\/class2017\/files\/2013\/12\/Dreadnought-vs-Boyz.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-708\" style=\"width: 300px\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.wabash.edu\/class2017\/files\/2013\/12\/Dreadnought-vs-Boyz-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-708\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wabash feels like this sometimes; I&#8217;m the Dreadnought and all the school work and stuff is the mass of Orks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Also, now I\u2019ve gotten a chance to plan out what lays ahead for me; I\u2019ve gotten through my first semester at Wabash without too much trouble, and now I\u2019ve got to make sure I can get through the next semester as well. I think I\u2019ll do fine; I\u2019ve just got to stay focused and not get too distracted.
