Fall is a weird time. The plants that give food are all dying, and humans have spent many an autumn worrying if they'll have enough to eat through the winter. I always have low-grade anxiety at this time of year. Here are some things that help me:
- Take deep breaths while you're walking to class, on the toilet, looking at the sky...
- Drink water. Do that right now, and then at least seven more times today!
- Think about the silent mystery of seeds. They're hiding until next spring, when they come back to sustain us for another year.

Lip balm. As it gets colder outside and warmer inside, our skin tends to dry out. My favourite is root beer lip balm by Rocky Mountain Soaps. I love the smell; it reminds me of being a kid, and it makes me smile!

“At first my dad was not sold on Quest, having come from a more traditional education. He conceded after seeing how much it meant to me, but I don’t think he fully understood the appeal until he visited the school and saw the Foundation reading list. He said, “I didn’t have this much reading until grad school. You’re really getting challenged here.” He loves Quest now, and hopes to teach here someday.” -Kate Luebkeman ’19
