Notes from the Video

Students in college start sacrificing their mental health for their grades and to just get to classes
It's important to build habits for yourself; do the things that you love
Brainstorm: podcasting, reading, running, drinking coffee, going to the beach
Be grateful for the opportunities and resources you have, but don't burn yourself out

Thank you note

Dear Ms. Hinds, Thank you for always being there for me whenever I need a break. You always encourage me to be my best self and to stand up to life's challenges. I'm grateful for all the lessons you've taught me from standing up for myself to leaving people with bad energy behind. I look forward to seeing you every week to laugh at jokes together and just talk about life. You are not only a teacher to me but also a second mom and a best friend.
