Dear Scarby, Will there ever be a place where I can chill out and relax in the library? Sometimes I just need to take a break. - Burnt Out
Health and Wellness
Dear Burnt Out,
Oh, the thought of a new semester and all those books to read, assignments to do and exams to prepare for, gets to me too sometimes. When I start feel like that I go hang out for a bit in the Mindfulness Space and chill in the beanbag chairs or do some yoga or meditation. If I feel really overwhelmed I go to UTSC Health and Wellness. Take care!
Yours truly,
Scarby H. Hedgehog
Dear Scarby, My grades are lower than I hoped. What can I do, and can anyone help me? - Struggling, 1st year
Dear Struggling,
I totally relate! When I first got to UTSC it was a lot to handle. Try exploring the supports available at UTSC. Here are a few people that helped me: UTSC library Information and Reference desk or your liaison librarian for research help for papers ; The Writing Center for hands-on writing support––you can even ask their advice at the planning stage ; professor’s office hours––profs and TA’s are usually really helpful if you ask them ; Academic Advising & Career Center (AA&CC)––they have study skills workshops on note taking, reading, time management, and much more! ; and for me, personally, sometimes I just need a sympathetic ear––check out the Health & Wellness Centre!
Yours truly,
Scarby H. Hedgehog
