Hi everyone,

I’ll keep this manifesto short and to the point. Wellbeing is an essential aspect of our lives, and it’s something we need to prioritise. Let’s not accept sleeping less than 7-8 hours, not eating enough protein, or coming to lectures looking like we’ve never seen daylight. If I’m elected as Wellbeing Representative, I will take the following actions:

• Provide easy access to wellbeing resources: I will ensure you know where to find support and guidance whenever you need it.
• Be a supportive resource myself: Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by coursework, dealing with personal issues, or just need someone to talk to (even if it's about your Tamagotchi that just died), I’ll be here to listen and help.
• Collaborate with the cohort and other reps: I’ll work closely with the class and other representatives to create initiatives and foster an environment that supports everyone’s wellbeing.

Jokes aside, I will take this role seriously. It’s not funny when we put our health at risk trying to juggle the strenuous academic demands of Imperial, internships, and our own personal life. We’re here to learn and grow, not to burn out. Let’s take care of ourselves and each other.

Thank you for considering me for this role!

Best Regards,

Maria
