Hi MIT 2028's!
You just heard some Orientation Leaders (OLs) share reflections about their time at MIT and how they prioritize their wellbeing. Write a letter to yourself, which will be delivered back to you in May 2025 (at the end of your first year at MIT!). Write whatever comes to mind or use the questions that the OLs posed to you below:
- What routines did you develop to prioritize your physical and mental health?
- How did you make meaningful connections with others, including people you met this year?
- How did you make time to explore your purpose inside and outside of your academic interests?
Only you will see this letter. We hope that your future self will appreciate the reminder of what you're reflecting on now while you pause and think about how you'd like to care for your wellbeing while at MIT!
