How are you?

[Sid Panda 3A]

Basically the title. How are you all doing?

[Sami Siddiqui 1J]

I'm feeling great right now, thanks for asking! I've honed in my focus this quarter and look to be finishing strong heading into our upcoming finals. I hope everyone is doing well!

[Alex Mele 2A]

I'm doing well! Happy to be home with everyone here for the holidays. The cold weather makes it easier for me to focus on school, too.

[Nancy Yao]

December is so intense.

[Megan Hulsy 1A]

I feel so stressed and tired, luckily we're almost done with the quarter!

[Nathan Chu 3H]

Finals week is coming up so I'm definitely stressed about that, but overall I am doing fine. I'm also happy we got a four day weekend to celebrate Thanksgiving, and I am definitely looking forward to winter break!

[marlene 1K]

Having break was nice, I got to catch up but also rest a lot more than usual. Workload has picked up and theres a lot of big projects due in the next week so I've been really focused on schoolwork and there will be a lot of studying for the next 2 weeks. But overall I'm doing good and I'm content with where I'm at.

[Nandhini Ekambaram 1L]

December is so intense.

I agree! I am definitely stressed about finals coming up but I am also looking forward to winter break.

[Kaley Qin 1F]

Feeling slightly overwhelmed after realizing that all my finals are bunched up on the weekend of week 10 and first few days of finals week. But I'm working through my stress and I know that I can manage this!

[Jasraj Parmar 3H]

It feels so intense with finals coming up.

[Jessica Manriquez 1H]

December is so intense.

I completely agree, I'm mentally drained lol

[jadensteplight_2F]

I'm alright, with all things considered. I am stressed about this final but since this is my only true final, so I am willing to put all of my effort into it. I always find week 10 to be the most stressful because I am trying to balance my usual weekly workload coupled with studying for finals, but the pay off of winter break is worth it. Hope everyone else is well!

[John_Tran_3J]

Since Ive started to study for finals earlier, I feel more confident and happy about the quarter ending.

[Jada3J]

I'm doing ok excited for this quarter to be over and start new classes.

[Helena Hu 3E]

Thanks for asking, Sid. It's always important to ask everyone how they really are; it is so often too easy to glaze over the question by saying we're doing just fine. Personally, I am excited for the holiday season and looking forward to finishing up the quarter strong!

[AmyHo2K]

I'm ready for this quarter to be over and for Winter Break. Otherwise, a little stressed about finals.

[Jamie Wang 3C]

Really excited to start new classes! Our first finals are kind of scaring me though.

[Navdha Sharma 3J]

I am just waiting for our finals to get over! The last couple of weeks have been really tiring though.

[Cooper_Geralds_3B]

I was really stressed that I would not end up getting the classes that I need for winter quarter, but I ended up getting them which is such a relief! I am curious, how do you guys plan on reviewing for the final? I want to start reviewing soon so that I avoid the stress of cramming a few days in advance!

[Tikva Cohen 1K]

I'm okay, thanks for asking! Actually feel pretty good about most chem material, just a little stressed with finals coming up and especially with multiple classes at once. Hopefully it's al be good!

[Michelle Nguyen 3F]

Honestly, I feel a little bit under pressure because I realize I might have taken on more work than I can actually handle. I like to keep myself busy, but this time it's a lot :/ Overall, however, I feel content with everything going on, and I always try to keep up and manage, which is progress and I'm glad for it! :) How about you, how are you feeling now?

[alexandralopez 3F]

Definitely feeling a little stressed and overwhelmed as of right now

[Annette Fishman]

Honestly, overwhelmed. On top of UCLA classes, I am working a job that I go to right after I finish my classes. I close almost everyday, so I come home at 10:30. I just always feel like I have absolutely no time for anything, and December is one of those months that keep me up all night. Scared for finals, but doing the best that I can do. Just trying to keep my head above water at the moment. Excited to start new classes though because this quarter taught me a lot.

[apurva-3E]

Pretty behind on lectures but good overall!

[miguel zatarain 2B]

Im not doing good [censored] but I'm sure trying. This class is literally sucking the living soul out of me but I'm hoping to pass it so yeah

[Summer_Corona 3L]

I'm finally caught up on lectures so that's good but I'm a bit anxious about the final since I need some clarification on some topics.

[Savana Maxfield 3F]

Honestly, overwhelmed. On top of UCLA classes, I am working a job that I go to right after I finish my classes. I close almost everyday, so I come home at 10:30. I just always feel like I have absolutely no time for anything, and December is one of those months that keep me up all night. Scared for finals, but doing the best that I can do. Just trying to keep my head above water at the moment. Excited to start new classes though because this quarter taught me a lot.

Oh my gosh I can relate! And I'm also feeling very overwhelmed :( But hey, you're doing great and I'm sure everything will be ok in the end :)

[Hannah Rim 2D]

I feel exactly the same way): Working while managing classes is so so difficult. I also feel like I have no time to do anything but I'm just looking forward to winter break so I can finally enjoy activities without feeling stress or guilt (:

[Megan Singer 3D]

I'm doing okay! I kinda feel like I'm falling behind on chem so I'll prob do a lot of reading and practice problems over the weekend, but other that, not bad.

[LeahSWM 2E]

I have a job that requires me to close most nights, too. I feel you deeply! I enjoy working but I feel like I neglect my studies sometimes and that's stressful. But nonetheless, we have got it this far and that is what matters. I'm excited to start new classes too and apply the things that I've learned this quarter as far as how to manage my time and how to plan my work schedule moving forward lol. Good luck with everything!

[Seraphina Joseph 1C]

I'm doing well, but I'm feeling a little behind in studying for the chem final and a little behind in my other classes

[Sandra Kim 2B]

like some people have said, i feel like i'm a little behind on classes and prep for finals but also a bit fatigued when i barely have any friends (if at all) in my classes this quarter, so i haven't really had anyone close to reach out to. but in the end, i know the last two weeks will fly by super fast so i'm looking for winter break :) i just try to remember that good things take time

[Allan Nguyen 2G]

Super anxious but studying and doing more practice problems makes me feel more ready for the upcoming final :)

[Angelica Soriano 3L]

I'm doing okay. I've been stressed with homework and finals coming up but I'm looking forward to winter break.

[Brenda Silva 1B]

Now that finals are approaching I feel more stressed and overwhelmed. It is difficult to stay on top of all my classes especially chemistry. Good luck to everyone on the final!

[SophiaJenny3I]

I'm good! Getting so excited for Christmas and break! Definitely a bit nervous for all the finals though.

[Daniela_Martinez_3B]

I'm also stressed about finals, but I'm determined to end on a good note! Also, really excited for winter break :)

[Katelyn_Ortega_1D]

The past month has been... overwhelming but I am trying to focus on finals. Trying to calm my anxiety for this final!

[505598869]

I'm doing well!

[Sophia Wendin 3L]

I'm definitely a little stressed about getting ready for finals!

[Emily_Stenzler_2H]

I'm so glad we have open discussions like this and have such a supportive community at UCLA! Personally, I am doing well but I'm definitely having trouble finding motivation to really get into the finals study grind that I used to do before things went online. If anyone has tips about finding more motivation and ways to stay focused in quarantine please lmk!

[Kaitlyn Hernandez 3I]

A little bit stressed for finals! But I've been meditating and taking time for myself as well to ensure that I don't overwhelm myself too. Hope everyone is doing well :)

[Sheryl Ocampo 1D]

I'm pretty stressed for finals, but I'm glad winter break is coming up. I'm probably most worried about this class

[Jasmine Yi 1G]

Finals season is a lot more intense than I thought it would be, hopefully I'm prepared.

[YUNALEE]

Will be better after finals

[Molly_Peterson_2F]

The stress of finals is starting to kick in, but I'm focusing on the upcoming winter break to keep me going!

[Jasmine Ho 3I]

a bit stressed, very tired of being in my house but overall okay thank you for asking!!

[lauren_tran_1L]

i'm catching up on lectures! so basically tired lol

[Mackenzie Van Val 3E]

I can't believe it's the end of Week 9. I feel like the quarter has flown by. I'm hoping for the best for this last week of class and for the final. Good luck everyone! Hope you're doing alright!

[Winzel Payumo 1B]

Surprisingly, even with the stress I'm enduring since all of my finals are during week 10, I'm still doing okay and I'm still calm! This is very refreshing since in high school, I remember going to school without sleeping for the past 24 hours due to my workload, and now, even if my courses are harder, I haven't pulled that much all nighter due to better study habits!

Hope you're doing good!

[Can Yilgor 2D]

I have been trying to meet the deadlines and finish the quarter strong. It has become quite exhausting recently, so I think we are close to a well-deserved winter break!

[abby hyman]

I am doing pretty well. Finals feel more stressful this quarter than usual for some reason.

[Meredith2E]

This quarter has just been so hectic. But now with finals being literally around the corner, I feel like so much information is being thrown at me so its been a lil rough. Can't wait to finish my last final and just enjoy winter break. We all deserve a break no joke. Hopefully winter quarter is easier (fingers crossed.)

[jasonfarrales3D]

I am doing alright, thank you for asking. Time to start grinding on schoolwork as finals week is approaching, good luck to everyone!!

[Kyla Villarama 1E]

Thanks for asking! I've just been catching up on lectures and trying to prepare for finals so it's been stressful. Excited for winter break though :)

[Namratha Gujje]

I am kind of stressed for finals, but other than that I am doing okay. Waiting for the quarter to be over basically. Can't wait til Christmas!

[Mahika More 1H]

I'm ok, just tired. Definitely ready for break!

[LaurenChoi_1J]

Thank you for asking! I'm a little stressed and anxious about finals, but other than that, I'm doing great and trying my best to get into the holiday spirit despite the circumstances this year!

[Rayna Irving 2C]

This month as definitely been overwhelming so far with trying to review for all my classes at once, but I'm pushing through and very excited for break!

[Margia Adriano 2A]

Hi! I'm honestly feeling super nervous about the final!! Especially since this is the first one I'll be taking out of all my classes and at UCLA too! Hope you're doing all right!

[Nick P 3D]

Pretty good, just starting to feel the pressure of finals week coming up but otherwise looking forward to a break after a pretty intense last month of school.

[Brianna Martilla 1C]

Surprisingly okay. Just focusing on studying for finals and staying optimistic for the time I can finally go to campus.

[Sarah Hernandez 1F]

Not too bad! All my classes are wrapping up and I only have two finals so I just need to keep working and soon it'll be winter break!

[Shalyn Kelly 3H]

A bit stressed with all that's happening, but overall I'm doing well. I've met some new friends despite the lack of in-person meetings, and I'm looking forward to the break. It's nice someone asked here. How are you?

[jia207]

Overall doing well! Just went back home so I am having a little difficulty adjusting to the time change and getting into a new routine.

[Annie Tong 2G]

Lots of studying going on now that finals are approaching :/ I'm really glad that break is also approaching though.
It's nice to have someone ask; how are you?

[Connie Liang 3L]

I'm feeling good! Looking forward to finishing off this quarter strong and spending quality time with the fam this holiday season!!!

I have been falling behind lecture by 1 class, but I will catch up tonight! I am a little stressed for the next weekend, but I am excited for the next semester.

Excited for the quarter to end and to enjoy the holiday season stress free.

[Jalyn 3G]

can't wait for finals to be over

[Algernon Jackson 2l]

I honestly do not feel good because this class is not looking too good.

[Cooper Kinne 2E]

A little stressed about finals so I'm ready for all that to be over and to be home relaxing over the holidays

[Orla Lynagh-Shannon 1F]

I am very stressed about the amount of work for finals but am otherwise okay. I am looking forward to Christmas, winter break, and a new year!

[Ke Huang 2G]

I am kind of stressed by the finals. I can not believe that my first quarter of college will end like this.

[Megan ODonnell 3F]

Stressed about finals!

[Angela Marie Guevarra Dis3F]

Considering everything, I think I'm doing alright. Feeling less overwhelmed than I was recently once I put all my worries into perspective. This quarter hasn't been the best but I think I've learned a lot that will help me tackle future quarters.

[Kiana Javier 3G]

I'm replying to this in week 10, so I think you can imagine how stressed I am lol. I have a lot of work to do during these upcoming days, and I have to use my time very wisely, so I;ve been focusing on that.!

[Geethika Janga 1L]

I'm a bit stressed about all the exams coming up but I'm excited for our break! Let's get these exams over with! Good luck everyone :)

[Mehreen 3I]

I'm doing okay, just stressed for finals and ready for the quarter to end!

[Maryeli Garay 2H]

I am literally losing my mind. I’m so over this quarter, I can’t wait for winter break!! I just think we’re all tired and dealing with so many things apart from school. We could all use a little break :(

[RaniyaFeroz_1E]

I'm pretty stressed about the final, but besides that I'm good. How about you?

[Jack Kettering 3D]

Pretty stressed but we are in the home stretch right now so I am excited about that and can’t wait for break :)

[Callan Howard]

I’m hopeful that we are one quarter closer to going back to regular style classes! Thank you for asking, how are you doing, though?

[Francesca_Borchardt_2D]

I am doing overall pretty well. I am definitely stressed out for finals and trying to make sure I am staying on top of everything. I also am feeling a bit anxious about grades..

[Kyle_Lee_2B]

Honestly feeling a little down, been tough in quarantine and have lost a lot of motivation to do anything. Gonna work it out somehow.

[Angel More]

I am so relieved that we got through this chem quarter! I am also really happy that we are getting 10 points extra on the final. Just a few more finals to go for me and then winter break!

[jia207]

I am glad we all got through and finished chem together. Even though the final was hard, I am proud of myself for taking and finishing my first college chemistry course.

[Kat Stahl 2K]

My brain is just tired but I am basically done with finals other than a group assignment and an essay so it is nice to be done. I'm excited for winter break:)

[Winzel Payumo 1B]

I just saw this right now, but my last final was for this class, so my break started after our test. It definitely feels like I can breathe easier due to the lack of stress, but I’m just waiting for my grade so I can completely relax!

[Mackenzie Fernandez 3G]

I feel so liberated after the final!!!
Wishing everyone the best during the rest of finals week <3

[FrancescaHawkins2H]

While finals week is always stressful, it's been nice seeing Christmas lights go up, and wrapping presents and getting excited for the holidays has definitely relieved some of that typical finals week stress. I'm definitely excited for the end of the quarter and I hope everyone has a safe and relaxing winter break!

[Michelle Magana 2B]

Although I have two more finals, I feel so relieved after the chemistry final. Thankfully, I can focus on my next two exams with a healthier mindset.

[Madeline Marron 1I]

I'm good, I'm going to decorate Christmas cookies tonight which is exciting!

[Giselle_zamora_1L]

I still have 1 more final to go but I'm feeling really good about it so fingers crosses. I overall didn't do too hot in this class but there's always next quarter to improve, at this point it is what it is. Feeling very excited to binge watch a list of shows I have.

[Seraphina Joseph 1C]

I have 2 more finals to go, but I am really happy that I'm done with my chemistry final because it is the hardest one for me. I am also really excited for winter break!
