Headline: Autumn Breaks & Study Balance at ARU London 🍂


Content:

Film a short, reflective video showing how you’re spending the autumn break and finding balance between rest and study. The goal is to inspire others to take care of themselves while staying on track academically.

Show moments that highlight how you're recharging — but also how you're using the downtime to revise, plan, or catch up on assignments.

Think of it as a gentle reminder to rest and stay ready.


Key Messaging (Ideas to include):

  • How are you using the break to relax, reset, or reflect

  • How are you lightly keeping up with uni work — reading, prepping, reviewing notes, etc.

  • Favourite spaces to study or unwind (e.g. coffee shops, libraries, parks)

  • The importance of balance: downtime vs. discipline

  • Activities helping your mental health (e.g. walks, journaling, gym, meditation)

  • Advice to other students: “Don’t feel guilty for resting — but don’t fully disconnect either”


Goals:

  • Encourage students to use the break intentionally — for both rest and light academic focus

  • Share self-care and productivity strategies

  • Promote healthy study habits and mental well-being

  • Reflect student voice and lived experience during a quieter academic week
