BREATHE before finals events, Nov. 28 – Dec. 2

breathe_fall2016
Have you ever been on campus and thought to yourself – “I wish I could….”

Go on a nature walk
Play video games at the Veterans’ Resource Center
Make a vision board
Paint a pet rock
Eat a snack
Make jewelry
Make your own DIY bath products
Try Zumba! or yoga
Snuggle with a therapy dog
Build a marshmallow spaghetti tower
Make a holiday craft
Play a board game
Make your own stress sock (or, in the words of my child – an “in distress” sock)
….OR, just chill out???

If so – keep reading!

Check out our quarterly pre-funk to finals week – BREATHE.  This quarter BREATHE events begin Monday, November 28 (with Dr. Roberts and her therapy dog in the PUB Lobby) and wrap up on Friday, December 2 (with yoga in the gymnasium or swimming at a local pool), with our main event happening Thursday, December 1 (events across campus – and make sure you stop by the Counseling Center for free food, crafts, and more)!

Students often report high levels of stress before finals, which can negatively impact their academic performance as well as their physical and mental health. BREATHE aims to reduce student stress as well as connect students to their SCC community. These efforts assist our students with attaining their academic and personal goals.
