I stay balanced by making time to connect with friends outside the classroom, specifically Tuesday&nbsp;Trivia nights. It is very easy to get bogged down with daily studying, but making time to do something fun outside school helps <\/span><span>relax my mind and gear up for another round of studying.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:black\">I also dabble in woodworking and most recently have refinished my coffee table, built a tool cabinet and&nbsp;a coat rack. Working with my hands and creating something out of nothing&nbsp;is very satisfying and calming.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span>Three things people may not know about
