As a student who just completed her first year of college under virtual and pandemic circumstances, I have learned about the difficulties of maintaining motivation and finding the right balance of working and taking breaks. With our two mental breaks during a very long semester, I found myself counting down the days until I would no longer have to open my computer and join a zoom call and study for more time after. I realized quickly that I was not the only one to have these difficulties and learned about how many of the people around me were struggling with burnout.
