Stay healthy, Cyclones.

With midterms in the rearview, many are already looking toward class registration for the spring semester, fall break or even finals week.

Outside of tests and academics, many students are starting the search for internships or full-time jobs which can be time-consuming and draining in addition to one’s regular schedule.

Despite all of this, it is important to take time for yourself and prioritize your well-being even if your schedule, academics and life may feel overwhelming.

By eating healthy, getting enough sleep and taking time to relax, you will be more engaged and productive when needed instead of being constantly tired and fighting off sleep.

In an effort to encourage health and wellness both physically, mentally and academically, here is a list of campus resources to ensure that you are taking care of yourself:

Health:

• Student Counseling Services: Whether individual or group therapy, Student Counseling Services uses a short-term therapy model. Other services offered include crisis intervention, career counseling and couples counseling.
