We do this by giving our minds a rest when we feel overwhelmed, finding ways to calm our minds and clear our thoughts, processing our emotions so they don’t take over our lives, and reasserting confidence in ourselves. This past month, we spoke about ways to keep our minds strong, such as practicing meditation and saying our daily mantras, as well as knowing when it’s time to take a break and how to master de-stressing.

I was a communications major at UC Berkeley with an emphasis on media and advertising. I began seeking internships so that I could learn more about this career.
