Looking back at 2022, what are some accomplishments, big or small, that you are most proud of?

I am proud of balancing my studies and maintaining a social life during my time in school. I am grateful for the friendships I have made and for being able to keep in touch with old friends.

How are you planning to show yourself more kindness in 2023?

In 2023, I plan to build better habits for my last term of studying before graduating from university. I want to create a routine where my well–being is not compromised while keeping up with schoolwork. I also plan to take some time travelling before going into full–time work after grad.

As we enter 2023, what are you most grateful for?

I am thrilled that the COVID situation around the world is improving and that travel restrictions are being lifted. As someone with family spread out across the globe, I am so grateful to be able to see them in person again. With things looking up, I am also relieved that my loved ones are safe and healthy.
