Continuously working on schoolwork—and commonly more than that—can cause consistent breakdowns, physical and mental conditions and burnout. Having some tips for coordinating your breaks—coming from a constant work plate overloader—is ideal and needed while in college.

Stories That Shaped Me

Jan 15, 2025 | thenav.ca | Julia Fox |Madeline Miller |Kazuo Ishiguro |Ella Hannesson

My life changes every day. It’s not because of my own experiences, but because of other people’s, immortalized between yellowed pages.
