Student News

It's here! Mid-semester break has started and even though it's spring, it's still a bit chilly and rainy (which is pretty excellent, cosy study weather).

As much as it can seem like a chore, catching up on your study now means that once everything starts up again, you'll feel much more ready to tackle the last bit of the semester. So take a mindful, guilt-free break from study when you're able to, and then once you're rested, catch up on what you need to.
