The UCI Counseling Center and the UC Irvine campus are located on the homelands of the Acjachemen and Tongva peoples who, in the face of on-going settler colonialism, continue to claim their place and act as stewards of their ancestral lands as they have for the past 8,000 years. Practice some self-compassion and allow your self to be okay with feeling stressed, know you’re not alone, and give yourself time to step away from the student mindset once the quarter is over!

Research has shown that light therapy is an effective way in lifting mood so you may consider purchasing a lamp that might provide sufficient light exposure to lift your spirits!įall quarter tends to be challenging for a lot of students and I am here to tell you that there is a lot of truth to that sentiment! You’re just coming off of an amazing summer, you don’t get a “break” until November, and the time frame between Fall and Winter quarter is very short. While we usually have amazing sunshine in southern California, there may be a stretch of days where we do not. We need vitamin D! There are many health benefits to receiving vitamin D and one of the primary ways of doing this is from sun exposure. Try to create active goals during this time to keep your body moving! Often this can directly affect our mood by making us feel less energetic, and more lethargic. Here are some things to consider as we reach the end of the year!ĭays get shorter, rain/cloudiness may increase, and sunshine lessens as the season changes. While this time can be something to look forward to, it is important to still be aware of caring for your mental health. It is getting closer to the holiday break and the end is in sight!
