Fall Back, Spring Ahead with Your Goals!
We hope you enjoyed that extra hour of sleep as Daylight Savings Time came to an end! Getting that bonus hour is always a treat, but adjusting to the time change can be tricky, especially as the days get shorter and darker. It’s the time of year when balancing school, activities, and maybe even a part-time job can start to feel a bit overwhelming, so take a moment to check in with yourself and see what you need to stay on top of everything.
With less daylight, it’s easy to feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day. But you can make it work by building routines that help you stay focused. Start by creating a to-do list each week, setting specific study hours, or trying out new ways to unwind and recharge. Keeping a balance will help you make the most of every day, even when it feels like the sun sets way too soon!
This month’s articles are below to help keep you inspired and on track, plus check out our interviews with industry pros for insights into different career paths. Keep pushing forward – we’re cheering you on!
Warm regards,
Anthony Teles
