Tips for Students During the Coronavirus Self-Quarantine:
- Be kind to yourself. You are doing the best you can, given the circumstances.
- Keep your sense of humor. Enjoy those random spurts of joy and uncontrollable laughter.
- Nourish your body, mind, and soul. Exercise, eat mindfully, and stretch. Sleep well, hydrate, and nourish yourself. Listen to music, do art, take a walk in nature. Watch a YouTube video on how to do something you've always wanted to learn.
- Connect with others, and with yourself. Breathe in, breath out. You've got this.
