With midterms and spring break approaching, it’s time to buckle down, study, and do projects. Luckily for me, that only applies to other students this semester since I don’t have any midterm tests or specifically midterm projects.
That gives me time to do other equally important things. As an FYS peer mentor, most of my job is over when the fall semester ends. I no longer have to attend the classes or do any of the readings assigned for the class. However, I do need to keep in touch with the students from the class (my mentees) and help with other projects that peer mentors tackle, such as study breaks in First Stop.
As part of that, I have decided to make my mentees small gifts as a little pick-me-up before midterms.
These little trees are based on the Mandarin Chinese character for spring and is something made for decorations during the Lunar New Year. Since the Lunar New Year is considered the start of spring, it’s appropriate to make the small trees.
Maybe if I make enough of them it’ll officially stop snowing.
