weekends

Whatever it is we’re doing, summer really isn't a break anymore. When we've spent the past ten months working non-stop, we need time off. Risking burnout and mental breakdowns, it's incredibly important to take time and breathe. So, even if we can't take off a few well-deserved months, there are still some ways for us to feel rejuvenated and relaxed this summer.

If it’s a weekly activity (as it is for many), it becomes less of an activity and more of a routine — work during the week, frat parties on the weekends.

While some moments are exhausting and infuriatingly slow, others breeze by before you know it, so be sure to value your Bear time while you have it.

I could hardly sit still in my room long enough to watch a TV show, and sometimes that drove me positively crazy. It’s acceptable to spend a Tuesday buried in books; try the same thing on a Saturday, and the fear of missing out, aka FOMO, rears its ugly head.
