The semester’s over—finally. No more late-night study sessions, endless deadlines, or back-to-back classes. You’d think you’d feel free, right?

So why does it feel more like a crash than a celebration?

Maybe you’re exhausted, zoning out more than usual, or wondering why your motivation disappeared the moment exams ended. You’re not lazy, and you’re definitely not alone.

Over-apologizing can leave you feeling smaller and less powerful, but you can shift your mindset and reclaim your confidence forever.
