Beyond The Diag - December 2021
Column 1
Well, 2021 has certainly been a memorable year - new experiences, and ongoing challenges. As the end of the semester gets closer, many of us are making plans for the winter break. Whether you are heading home to family and friends, or remaining here in Ann Arbor, this month's edition includes some helpful advice, fun information, and valuable resources to help you get the most out of the break.
If you have finals exams, make sure you still schedule time in your day to rest. Whether it be a half hour for lunch, an extra few minutes in the morning to meditate, or an afternoon workout class, scheduling time in your day to rest will make you more productive when it is time to study.
Simple habits like eating a balanced diet, getting out in the sunshine (when the sun decides to show up in Ann Arbor), and getting at least eight hours of sleep will contribute to a strong immune system!
Go Blue - and stay safe!
If you are planning to travel over the winter break, please consider testing as a part of your travel preparations. Testing is an important tool for reducing the spread of COVID-19. Make sure you know about testing requirements and options available. Learn more
