As overwhelming as exams may seem, at the end of the day they’re just a thicc test of your knowledge treat them as such, and no more than that, they don’t have to define your entire semester!... Our tips for keeping balanced while prepping for exams: Tip 1: Chat to your pals See how they’re going, how they’re feeling at the moment, and how they’re studying! You could learn a thing or two and it’s always good to stay connected, even when you’re stressed. Tip 2: Try new things, and keep up a balanced routine! Try to prioritise sleeping, eating and socialising alongside of studying, fam! Maybe try new ways to exercise or unwind, like yoga or Pilates. Tip 3: Don’t sacrifice your health for study This goes for your mental, physical and emotional vibes; and get keen for the semester to be over! (we’re nearly there!) Love and peace, always! See more

01.01.2022 It's R U OK? Day! Does it feel like a mate isn't doing so great? Trust that gut instinct and ask. Asking isn't always easy, but it could change a life Some tips on how to ask: 1. Ask R U OK? If they don't want to talk, don't criticise them, but still offer support! If they do want to chat, make sure you're prepared to have a conversation, be a listening ear, and support them! ... 2. Listen with an open mind! Take what they say seriously, let them take their time, and show you've listened by repeating key information back! 3. Encourage action! See what they've done in the past to get help. If they're seeking help already: awesome! Let them know you're there for them anyway! But if they're struggling to get help, let them know you're happy to help them get in touch with a health professional! 4. Check in! This is super important. Let them know you are there for them longterm and check in with them in a couple weeks. See how they're going. See if they've been able to get in touch with a professional. Genuine concern and care can make a real difference! Check out the R U OK?
