We are reaching the point in the semester where many college students are feeling their motivation slip and their exhaustion rise. The University of Georgia describes burnout as, “a chronic condition, not to be confused with being tired after a long study session, but rather the culmination of many months or years of studying the same topics.” You might be burned out if you find yourself consistently fatigued, no matter how much rest you get, lacking motivation to work on or even start assignments, or if you find yourself unable to meet important deadlines. So, you have some burnout. What are you supposed to do now? The university does offer many services to help with burnout, including different workshops around campus or even The Counseling Center. There are also some things you can do at home to manage your burn out! Of course, there are all the usual tips and tricks. Make sure you are eating healthy, going to bed around the same time every night, and exercising.
