A message from the Camosun College student society: Time to de-stress

Columns March 20, 2013

The end of the semester is fast approaching and for many that signals an increase in feelings of stress. The truth is being a student takes a lot out of us, and after two and a half months of constant readings, responses, exams, essays, and presentations we are all exhausted and ready for a break.

But, if we’re planning to finish this semester, we need to find the motivation to make it through another couple of weeks.

Self-care is an important part of making it through the end-of-semester crunch time, and you don’t have to splurge or spend a great deal of time to practise self-care. Whether you find the time to paint your nails, prioritize getting a good sleep, or play a game of floor hockey with your friends, find something that works for you and stick to it.

To help you out, the student society will be hosting a mini de-stress festival on Thursday, April 11 from 10 am to 2 pm. Make sure you stop by the Fisher courtyard so you can take advantage of free de-stressing opportunities. We hope to be able to offer you acupuncture, massages, traditional healing methods, and some adorable puppies to play with.

You can get through it. Good luck!
