Preparing for college is important, but so is preserving
mental health.
• Consider the workload in the level and rigor of classes
• Pursue your intellectual interests.
• Get involved in extra-curricular activities.
• Make time for community service or other interests.
• Participate in activities to promote your overall health by eating
healthy and exercising.
Mental wellness is as important to your overall well being as
physical health, social and emotional connectedness, and
intellectual accomplishment.
