A former seminary student shares practical advice for first-timers: prioritize self-care, maintain close contact with parents through voice notes, romanticize your experiences, and embrace solo moments for reflection and growth.
Seminary can be transformative, pour into yourself with the little joys, stay connected with family through voice notes, and romanticize every moment to make this year truly special.
Getting your nails done, getting a blowout before Shabbat, and finding a cute matcha spot to visit are recommended ways to pour into yourself during seminary.
Voice notes allow your parents to hear your happy moments and your voice throughout the day, even while they're sleeping due to time changes. This helps them stay connected to the good moments in your day and is especially important since leaving for seminary is a hard time for parents too.
It means to take as many pictures as possible, vlog your days, and pretend you're living in your own movie when days get hard, which helps you appreciate and document your seminary experience.
