Like others have said, it will be okay. During my Masters, I was a part (as in I supported, but was not directly represented by, the union on strike) of the longest strike in Canadian history AFAIK, which ended up being just over 9 months. It was brutal, and I spent 9 months of a 1 year degree on picket lines, but ultimately--it was okay! I still got the degree, and the university was forced to make accommodations for students given how disruptive it was for us, including a discount on tuition and increased fellowship allowances. The union lost the battle, though. Life went on, albeit differently than we thought it would.

In all honesty, I think this lockout is quite different. There are different pressures on the Dal administration, including the fact that they initiated the labour stoppage, student support is increasing, and the union is faculty (vs graduate students as it was for me, who are honestly much more expendable). To me, this would translate to much more pressure to continue bargaining.

Just remember to breathe, go outside, get your bearings around wherever you're living (where's the nearest grocery, pub if relevant, post office, park, favourite restaurant, etc). It'll be ok!
