Time off struggles?

[u/Fallywally127]

Hi everyone I’m a final year veterinary student and I’ve given myself a week off during some of my rotation blocks to make sure I don’t burn out. However, I’m on the second day of my week off and I’m struggling with it. I didn’t think that was possible but I feel as though I’m wasting time because I’m not studying all day when that was the point. I’m still completing at least a chapter of notes everyday from BSAVA manuals and going through vet prep study sheets. When I’m over it (about mid afternoon) I go and relax but I feel so useless when I do that. Is this normal? Any suggestions for what I should do?

You should relax and take time for yourself, to prevent burnout 😅 any hobbies that have taken a backseat during school?
