Work hard....and always remember to take a break
So last week, Dawgs, my neck started hurting. My shoulders ached. I woke up with a headache, kept it most of the day, and went to bed with it each night. I started noticing the bags under my eyes and a voracious appetite for caffeine. So what's a girl to do? Spend a weekend morning in bed with coffee, her Nintendo DS and some strategically placed naps, naturally.
And guess what? I came out the other end of it feeling a lot better, thanks to taking four seemingly-measly hours to myself. And that's what I want to encourage you to do. Yes, do your homework. Absolutely, attend your internship. Of course, study for your midterms. But when you have a moment to take a real, live break - take it and run with it.
Sure there are dishes to be washed, laundry to be done, people you haven't seen in a while, grandmas you owe a phone call to, the list goes on and on. But an equally important thing, keeping our sanity and our health, is often the first thing we cross off our list. I challenge you, Huskies, to flip that upside down this week. Because in a particularly aggressive flu season, a particularly tricky economy, not to mention the tough classes, demanding jobs or internships and more - taking good care of yourself is key to staying happy and healthy. So here's to your health and happiness!
