Midterms are coming. Everyone who's freaking out, raise your hands.

This is a point in the semester when the number of students seeking my help increases dramatically.  Sadly, I hear all too often,  "I'm so freaked out!"  "I don't know if I'm gonna pass my midterms." "I am so overwhelmed I don't know where to start."

The primary reason people find themselves feeling like this is because they haven't done the amount of work that a college education requires.
