A-MUSING ACTIVITIES: UPCOMING EVENTS IN THE GLAM SECTOR

 Muse News | Jaime Meier

---

With December right around the corner (yes, I am sorry to hear it too!), deadlines are looming and it is important for your health and sanity to take time for yourself each day to do something you enjoy. As someone who struggles with procrastination and staying focused, I am all too familiar with the guilt that accompanies avoiding a necessary task or struggling to finish an assignment. A great way that I have learned to cope and self-justify pausing school work is through participating in free online arts and culture related events.
