    I was shocked to see how many outlets had devices plugged into them that weren't in need of charging. This was my dorm room's largest source of wasted energy by far, with the next being a slightly cracked window that was cooling our room down in the wintertime.

    How do you practice self care?

    I practice self-care by allowing myself to step back from stressful things in my life. Allowing myself to have time with no scheduled work or things to do lets my mind rest and allows me to come back to my tasks in a more productive headspace.

    I took time away from screens today to go on a walk with my dog in the neighborhood today. Getting outside always improves my mood and makes me feel more productive!

    This weekend, I explored a new trail just off of campus. I spent an hour without my phone to disconnect from school. The experience was relaxing and rejuvenating. I hope everyone else gets to have this experience as well!

    Today, Totton, Aidan and I all watched The Fight, a documentary about social justice following ACLU lawyers fighting for change. This was timely given our project that we are working on is about the organization.
