To be frank, we are all tired. We sit at our computers all day long, even on weekends. Our professors give us more work since they know we technically have more time to do it & are now constantly in our place of work. We get new information to learn day after day and new assignments each week. It seems like "midterm season" has now become the entire semester. To make matters worse, we have no more breaks. We have to squeeze in all of this work, class time, effort into the last few weeks before reaching the freedom of Thanksgiving. On the one hand, this freedom sounds nice. On the other, I'm really not sure how many of us are confident in our ability to get to this break with any sanity or healthy emotion left.

With this in mind, I really think it is best for UNC Chapel Hill to give us all a mental health break. Just one day. One day for us all to close our computers. I think the normal breaks are essential to the wellbeing of students AND professors, and the school really needs to keep this in mind. 

Please sign & share so that we can all get the mental health day we deserve.
