It’s December, which means cold weather, holiday cheer—and, of course, the overwhelming desire to curl up and hibernate like a bear all month. But for you, the beleaguered high schooler, December means all of these things are tempered by mounting anxiety as final exams and projects loom over your head: an insurmountable wall between you and the sweet, blissful escape of Winter Break.
But don’t panic—the Library has got you covered!
