Enjoyment
Rest and restore
Northwestern students work hard from the start of Fall Quarter all the way through Finals Week of Spring Quarter. Schedules are packed, days are long and finding the time to relax can sometimes feel impossible. That’s why, even as you pursue your summer goals, it is also important to take time for rest and self-care. Get outdoors, catch up on sleep, eat well and have fun.
Here are some resources and ideas help you find balance this summer.
