Burnout can happen when you face academic (and other!) stress over an extended period of time.

Did you know that March is Nutrition Month?!
Nutrition is so much more than “Eat Your Vegetables," especially when taken in context of university students. The food we eat impacts our physical and mental health, our energy levels, our mood, and even our sleep quality.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, or like you just can't keep up with everything coming your way over the next few weeks? You’re not alone, and what you feel is probably normal. Remember, it’s okay to not be okay. With the end of the school year coming up there’s often a lot still to do before we can take a break, check-out for the summer, and let go of what’s been stressing us for the last 6 or 7 months.
