“Don’t study because you need to. Study because knowledge is power. Study because they can never take it away from you. Study because you want to know more. Study because it enhances you. Study because it grows you.”
Happy Easter Long Weekend!
Wellness Wednesday seven
Finals season has officially begun here at UBC. During this period of time I often find myself getting exhausted, and neglecting my health both physically and mentally.
It becomes so easy to simply order food in, skip the gym to study a little more, and not get enough sleep.
However, I encourage you to try and take a breather. I have noticed over the past four years, that I tend to over-stress myself out. I think I cannot afford to spend a minute elsewhere. Yet, when I find time for myself, I realize these negative thoughts diminish in strength, as I feel refreshed for the day.

Wellbeing Wednesday two
Hi everyone! I hope everyone enjoyed the past week of snow. Everything looks absolutely gorgeous when its covered in fresh powdery snow! Hopefully the day off from school helped you all de-stress from the pre-reading break midterm rush!
This week I wanted to focus on relaxation and decreasing the stress we put on ourselves everyday. I feel that sometimes this may go unnoticed, but I find myself constantly worrying about whether I am performing good enough and setting the bar extremely high for myself. It is absolutely wonderful to set goals and achieve them, however, make sure you allow yourself to acknowledge any bumps and hurdles along the way! This learning curve is what it going to help you the most in the future. So while right now any minor setback or subpar performance may seem catastrophic, do not worry, take the extra deep breath, and set a positive intention for the next time.
I hope that during the reading week you do at least one activity that allows you to be rid of the stressors that often take a toll during the academic year!
