How to Boost Your Mood During the Big Dark

What’s your take on Seattle’s obsession with the winter blues? A help or a hindrance?

Here in the Great Northwest, our perpetually grey skies through fall, winter, and spring are legendary. Toughing out long stretches of dreary days often becomes part of the Seattlite identity, even a point of pride for some. So, does that mean most of us are doomed to experience the winter blues, or its more severe cousin, Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), at some time in our lives? Maybe, maybe not.

Husky Pawket Guide

Hi Huskies,

Did you know that more than 30 percent of University of Washington undergrads are first-generation students? We also have many faculty and staff who are proud to be the first in their families to earn their degree. I am one of them.

The University of Washington is participating in the National First-Generation College Celebration next week. If you’re a first-generation student, I encourage you to join us at one of the upcoming activities happening on the Seattle campus and share your story or share your support for first-gen students on social media.

Four Things to Know for the Upcoming Cold and Flu Season

So, does that mean we will also have a bad cold and flu season in Washington this coming fall and winter? Here are four things you need to know about preventing infections during the colder months.

While the holiday season can feel joyous and full for some, it can also present many mental health challenges that are not often discussed. It is common to feel overwhelmed by pressure and expectations, experience more anxiety, or feel disconnected during this time of year. While the holidays can stimulate feelings of loneliness, it is important to know that you are not alone.
