“Times of transition are strenuous, but I love them. They are an opportunity to purge, rethink priorities, and be intentional about new habits. We can make our new normal any way we want.”

-Kristin Armstrong

The familiar ding of an Outlook email, a dreaded Canvas notification popping up on your phone, first day of class icebreakers. All signs point to the end of the summer and the beginning of the semester.

There is a pretty clear divide on our student body’s feelings toward this change. I, for one, am excited to go back to a normal routine and see all my friends. But, I also know for some they are still holding onto that few more days of freedom before things get hectic. Whatever you may be feeling, you can’t hide from the Canvas notifications and Outlook emails — face it head on.

Have a great semester!
