Getting through the holidays as a NAIT student
By Brock Perry on December 10, 2025
The holidays are officially here, and with that comes, the holiday stress. With the building stress and lack of ways to release the pressure many have begun to feel overwhelmed. Luckily, there are many affordable and comforting ways to bring the joy back to the Christmas season.
For the many that find their comfort through the food that they eat, a lesser-known yet affordable and delicious option, is a local sandwich shop that goes by the name of Farrow sandwiches. The welcoming staff and home-like feel that embraces you as soon as you walk through those doors. Once inside you have a wonderful selection of delicious sandwiches to choose from.
Sometimes food isn’t the answer to all of our problems. For times that food doesn’t seem to help, Square 1 Coffee has everything you would ever need in a coffee whether it be a simple drink to go or one of their spectacular teas and a pastry.
Not all stress relief has to be materialistic rather, it can be something as simple as going on a nice long walk with the people you love and what better place to do that than the Edmonton River Valley. The River Valley has lots of lush greenery to help reconnect you with nature.
With the holidays arriving, hopefully these different methods of relaxation will help enable you to enjoy the festive times with family, friends and fellow students.
