Maya’s Guide to Self Care

Rest x STEM

okay, but can we talk about how exhausting it is being a science major sometimes?

between surviving brutal exams, spending hours in labs, and feeling the constant pressure to work twice as hard just to take up space in the room, it's so easy to make burnout your whole personality. we spend all our time treating our minds like machines, running on three hours of sleep and pure willpower.

we’ve somehow been conditioned to wear exhaustion like a badge of honor. but real talk? slowing down isn't giving up. when you're navigating a high-stress academic path, taking a literal breath and logging off is actually a quiet rebellion.

your entire existence doesn't belong to a GPA or a resume. go close your tabs, step away from the desk, and remember you're a human being! Rest and recharge you deserve it

xoxo,
