A brilliant summary of our three-day trip to the Scottish Highlands this weekend, cleverly created by one of our amazing customers, followed by loads of hilarious memes made by others. You might not fully get them, but they make perfect sense to us 🤣. We love what we do, but it’s the people who truly make it worthwhile! 💙

A special month for astronomy enthusiasts:

💫 The comet C/2023 A3, known as the “comet of the century,” will reach its peak brightness around 12th October and will be visible to the naked eye, especially in areas with low light pollution.

🌝 The largest Supermoon of the year will occur on the night of 17th October. During this phenomenon, the moon will appear 8% larger and 15.7% brighter than usual.

☄️ Additionally, the month will be marked by two meteor showers: the Draconids and the Orionids, the latter originating from the debris of Halley’s Comet, peaking between 20th and 21st October.

Be Kind to Your Mind 🧠 Here are important reminders:

🔹It’s okay to not be okay;
🔹It’s okay to talk about your feelings;
🔹It’s okay to ask for help;
🔹It’s okay to put yourself and your mental health first.

🌎 To all of you living abroad, we understand that living in a foreign country can be challenging, and it’s perfectly normal to feel overwhelmed at times. Wether you’re homesick, stressed, or feeling isolated, sharing how you feel can lighten the load—these feelings are valid, and you don’t have to go through them alone. Reaching out is a sign of strength and not weakness. Support Systems are here to help you navigate difficult times. Your well-being is important, prioritise rest, self-care, and activities that make you feel grounded.

Remember, you have a community here. 💙 Whether you need someone to talk to, or just a reminder that what you’re feeling is valid, we are here for you. 🤝 Always reach out to friends, student services, or mental health professionals.

Take care of yourself! 👆
