And Then It Was March
Hi Rosemont, Sam here!!
Happy March! With spring right around the corner, thereās a natural shift happening.
The days get a little longer, the air feels a little lighter, and everything around us starts to reset. Spring isnāt just about cleaning out your closet or opening the windows; it can also be an opportunity to gently āspring cleanā your routine.
College life gets busy fast. Between classes, practices, internships, social plans, and everything in between, itās easy to fall into habits that donāt always serve you, scrolling later than you meant to, skipping meals, overcommitting, or running on very little sleep.
A new season is a chance to pause and ask yourself: Whatās working for me right now? What feels draining? What do I want more (or less) of this spring?
Spring cleaning your routine doesnāt have to be dramatic. It can look like:
- Setting a realistic bedtime and protecting it.
- Reworking your Sunday to feel less chaotic and more grounded.
- Swapping one hour of scrolling for a walk with a friend around campus.
- Checking in on your boundaries, where might you need to say ānoā so you can say a better āyesā?
Growth doesnāt only happen in big, life changing moments. It happens in small, consistent shifts.
As we move into this new season, maybe your affirmation for the week could be: āI am allowed to outgrow what no longer supports me.ā
If youāre feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just in need of a reset, the Counseling Center is a great place to start. You donāt need a crisis to come in; sometimes itās simply about creating space to reflect and realign.
The Counseling Center is open Monday through Friday, 9:00am ā 4:00pm. You can reach me directly at samantha.keller@rosemont.edu or contact the Counseling Center at rosemontcounselingcenter@rosemont.edu to schedule an appointment.
New seasons are invitations. You get to decide how you step into this one.
