Hastings Student Notices
Hey Station Plaza, how are you doing?
We hope World Mental Health Week brought you something valuable—whether it was learning something new, meeting someone, or simply taking a moment for yourself.
With exams coming up, this reminder feels especially important: take care of your mind as much as you take care of your studies.
Wishing you the best of luck with your exams!
Remember, it’s going to be okay. All you need to do is try your best—and that’s always enough.
As summer approaches, I encourage you to remain curious and keep learning. The journey doesn't end with exams—there’s always something new to discover.
You’ve got this!
