With finals already underway and the days getting shorter, it’s completely normal to feel worn down. You’ve pushed hard all semester, and the finish line is finally in sight. As you wrap up your last exams and projects, now is a great time to pause for a quick mental health check-in. Taking a moment to evaluate how you’re feeling can help you finish strong and recover well once break begins.
