Start. Your. Arc.

Is it too late to start your winter arc? On many social media platforms, such as TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, influencers have promoted a hot new trend specifically for the winter season: the “winter arc.” What is a winter arc? A winter arc is a time frame an individual dedicates to themselves over the winter to become better acquainted mentally and physically.
A typical winter arc is solely based on discipline and dedication. Commonly, a winter arc consists of healthy diets, fitness regimens, improved sleep, and many other activities that promote healthier lifestyles.
This social media trend even found its way into the student body of Hackett. When asked about their winter arc, Carmine Saracina said, “I have been going to the gym a few days a week to run and also been playing tennis at the YMCA.” Carmine is using this winter as an opportunity to get ready for his senior tennis season and plans on putting in the work now, to see the results later.
Another student motivated to change is current senior Preston Cosby. “I’ve created a success checklist with my buddy that we must complete every day. It consists of baseball training, an hour of work, chores, physical therapy, and meal prep.” Preston’s winter arc is a superb example of how to take advantage of the long winter season for the betterment of oneself.
