With careful planning and the right resources at your disposal, you'll be well-equipped to craft a fulfilling academic journey at U-M.
Studying, But Make It Fun
Studying for exams in college can be a daunting task, especially when transitioning from high school. It’s difficult to find the motivation to study and even more difficult to stay focused once you start. While studying looks different for everyone, I would like to share some of the things I do to make it a bit more bearable (and, dare I say, fun)!
M is for Michigan and Mental Health Awareness
As the leaders and the best, Michigan students often put a lot of pressure on themselves to perform at the highest standards at all times. Because mental health struggles are not always visible to others, it can be hard to ask for help, especially when it starts getting colder and darker out. We've compiled some resources to help with those struggles. Life happens but it doesn't mean that you have to go through it alone.
Studying and Being Aware of Your Mental Health
Mental health is just as important as physical health--arguably even more. Even the World Health Organization classifies mental health an integral part of personal well-being, on the same lines as financial, social, and physical well-being! So take some time to assess yourself and be sure to seek out the services you need.
Traveling for Winter
Traveling out of Michigan or out of the country can get very complicated. The first time I traveled out of the country was my sophomore year and I had no idea where I should start. Since then, I have traveled to Costa Rica and Thailand and I am currently planning a graduation trip to France, Italy, and Rome. I have listed some tips and precautions that I feel are useful when planning to travel.
Healthy Relationships
Approaching love in all forms seems magical. There is a season to celebrate the love you hold for your significant others, friends, and family. Love and relationships can bring happiness to even the darkest days and that is worthy of a celebration. This celebration must never come at the cost of engaging in genuine, healthy, and fulfilling relationships.
