 | Hi everyone,
It's 'Education Week' and we want you to enjoy a week off that consists of self-care and productivity. We suggest you guys knock out any outstanding assignments, catch up on missed classes and also take a well-deserved break. The Education Team has started a new initiative called Come Study With Us. It is meant to mimic a library environment and to support students who may be having a hard time studying at home alone. So check out the 'Come Study With Us' session, which will be held on Tuesday & Friday in the Virtual Common Room.
There is also a 'Pop-Up Library' session Wednesday 10th March 11am – 12noon. Make sure you check this out, as it is a 60 minute crash course on maximizing your academic potential. My top tip would be to find balance in all areas of your life this week. 'Create a To-Do List', prioritize your tasks and also schedule your self-care time.
Be gentle with yourself, you’re doing the best you can.
