And I believe there is nothing more \u201chot-girl\u201d than when a student pursues their passions. And it\u2019s not just the girls, either! Anyone can do it! Nothing is hotter than doing what makes you happy, and working towards achieving the great things that I know everyone can do! Now, I don\u2019t see what hot girl summer looks like outside of campus, but if you want to have one in the eyes of Abe, go out and do what brings you joy! Don\u2019t try and appeal to anyone but yourself this summer! Do what you have been putting off, go on that trip, ask out that person, go out and focus on you! Nothing is hotter than confidence and passion!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>How to get enough sleep and food and water during finals, because I genuinely forget?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s completely reasonable! I know that finals can be hard on anyone! For me, the best thing to do is go slow and steady! Trust yourself: you know more than you know. Cramming for eight hours will only stress you out, make you panic, and then you forget everything you once just read! Instead, go slow, take breaks, and calm yourself down! You have been in this class all semester, done the assignments, and most importantly, have done your best. You know so much already, you can handle this! All you need to do is trust yourself! Plus, think of it this way: if you are sick, tired, or pass out during the exam, that\u2019s going to cost more than forgetting a few key terms. Pace yourself, take care of you, and trust that you are smarter than you think you are!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>All my friends are graduating this year!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That can be tough for sure. It sucks to know that next year you will be entering the semester with a smaller group than you once had, but that isn\u2019t the end of the world! Because guess what? A whole new incoming class is coming in to take their place, and maybe you will be able to find the friend you have been needing among those new recruits. Not only that, but if the friendships are as strong as you believe them to be, they will last even if you aren\u2019t in the same classes anymore! Make an effort! Reach out to them! Work hard to keep those friendships alive, and I promise, it will be like they never left!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Abe, What does a hot-girl summer look like to you?
