After a fun, eventful weekend with my family, I went into the workweek feeling refreshed. I felt eager to accomplish my work both at my internship and in my classes. It was a well-needed break to allow myself to reset and relax, which I find to be incredibly important. Studying in D.C. does get overwhelming due to balancing classes, internships, and socializing. There is so much to see and do with such little time. I need to remind myself to slow down and relax every once in a while. I will definitely work on giving myself some time to unwind each week to avoid burning out.
