As the days get darker and the Winter truly comes to life, the Editorial Team have come together to share their thoughts on dealing with the seasonal changes.
⭐ How do you embrace the Winter days at university? ⭐
Taylor: Embracing the winter days at university is all about finding comfort and balance. To make the most of the season, create a cozy study space, stay active with indoor workouts or campus events, and prioritize your mental well-being by reflecting on goals or trying mindfulness. Don’t forget to take advantage of winter activities like ice skating or seasonal events, and stay connected with friends and family to ward off feelings of isolation. By adjusting your routine and focusing on self-care, winter can become a time of productivity, connection, and personal growth.
Madeleine: Making the most of winter days can prove difficult. The days are short and cold, and I for one crave staying indoors. I think winter is all about playing to your strengths, exercising in the way you like, staying social by networking in your areas of interest and comfort, and maintaining a good routine with your work which fits in with how you learn best. It’s a time when you may have more time to reflect as there will be more of the day spent indoors. This is why it’s a great time to journal or be mindful- noticing what’s working for you and what isn’t. Everyone’s wired differently, so it’s important to work out what’s best for you and your way of thinking- winter at uni is the perfect time to do this.
