What is "midterms"

Usage examples of "midterms".

Next week’s midterms, and everybody needs to blow off a little steam beforehand.

Instead, it has everything to do with being able to count on someone not to break up with you just because you danced with another guy at a party one night, or not to take it personally when you can’t call them as often as you’d like because you’re super-busy dealing with midterms and a family crisis.
