THIS WEEK YOU SHOULD FOCUS ON
College is hard. Life is hard. Make sure you aren’t making it harder by ignoring your own mental health. Take breaks, go outside, ask for help, and talk to someone when you need it.

Connect with our Counseling Services. Our professional counselors help students overcome interpersonal, emotional, and psychological barriers to academic success. Counseling services are confidential, free, and here to help you succeed!

Physical Health

  • Challenge Yourself this week to try a different kind of activity every day, being active is about overall health and moving your body!

  • Whether it’s a 15 minute walk outside or a 10 mile run, make sure you are continuing to get outside for fresh air, and moving around. 

Turn Off your Electronics!
