Knowledge and education are vital to surviving in our world. At young ages, we are sent to school to better understand the world in the hopes of successfully navigating it. Those who have not lacked education are among the most privileged individuals on this planet. Is it possible to be too educated? Absolutely not. But a danger we face with education is thinking we are in control of our lives and our future. After all, that’s the message sold to us in society: Go to college and you will get the perfect job.

For others, however, this time of year may be a stressful trigger that can elevate mental health problems, increase feelings of loneliness and isolation, or intensify grief for lost loved ones. And in this unprecedented year, there is the added burden of being in the middle of a pandemic that affects all of us in one way or another. Holidays aside, stress, anxiety and depression have skyrocketed as people try to navigate their way with so much uncertainty.
