My office is having an end of busy season mixer on a night that I have had something else planned for weeks. I'm only a staff 1 and I go to every other social event. I'm still stressed about not going

Why is your busy season event just happening now? Did you guys just barely finish busy season? I thought that shit ended two months ago.

If your practice/group size is not too small (>30 ppl), it won't be a big deal if you miss it. Personally, I saw some of our 1st years missed our annual formal event and they still do well among the group

And don't sweat over not going. Just tell them you have other plans that you can't cancel. Nobody will care.
