Seasonal Affective Disorder: The Effect of Cold Weather on Mental Health
EDITOR’S NOTE
Greetings,
I am so happy to share with you our second issue of the semester, “Wellness.” In this issue, you will find ways to redefine the narrative of Valentine’s Day, exercise ideas for the colder months, a quiz to discover your love language, and much more.
The foundation of this issue is the importance of self-love. Taking care of ourselves is one of the most imperative parts of living.
I hope you gain a deep sense of respect and understanding for what it truly means to prioritize all of your needs—mental, physical, and emotional.
Take care of yourself this winter,
Until the next read,
Ryan E. Ross | Executive Editor
