The end of the semester can feel both exciting and exhausting. You may be wrapping up classes, getting ready for final exams, and looking forward to a break. However, for some even once that last exam is done, the stress may not fade away entirely. Winter break is often framed as a time for rest and recharge, but it can also bring its own stress and loneliness. Whether or not you are going home for the break, you will likely be balancing new dynamics in your family system, friendships, and relationships, and it is important that we find ways to manage stress and support meaningful connection during this time.
