The semester’s over—finally. No more late-night study sessions, endless deadlines, or back-to-back classes. You’d think you’d feel free, right?

Maybe you’re exhausted, zoning out more than usual, or wondering why your motivation disappeared the moment exams ended. You’re not lazy, and you’re definitely not alone.

Every year, millions of people in the United States celebrate LGBTQ+ Pride. June has been dubbed Pride Month, in honor of the LGBTQ+ history made this time of year, starting with the Stonewall Riots in 1969.

Let’s talk about something that’s often misunderstood but affects more people than you might think: hypersexuality.

With so much happening politically, from anti-LGBTQ+ laws to harmful rhetoric in the media, it’s no surprise that so many in our community are feeling anxious, exhausted, or isolated.
