As a college student, sometimes mental health can take a backseat to the seemingly endless midterms, group projects, and essays that stack up during the semester. But whether or not your anxiety (or just your mid-semester blues) are affecting your academics, your social life, or even relationships, it’s always important to put yourself first, and make sure you are taking the time for self-care. If self-help tips and tricks, or the occasional inspirational quote, don’t seem to be doing it for you, help is never far away with the resources located right here on campus!
