In my school, we run a session of two semesters: the harmattan semester and the rain semester. Right now we are in the harmattan semester, which for Cohs students is the "barely relaxing semester".
Trust me when I say that the harmattan semester is so much easier to handle compared to the rain semester. The rain semester is the "hell semester" for us because literally all motivation draining courses are in the 2nd semester.
Presently, I'm a final year student (meaning that I have only eight months left; yay!) who is slowing drowning in the sea of seminar work and project work.
