College with COVID

 COVID-19 has now become something normal in everyone's lives. Wearing mask to class is better than seeing everyone's face over zoom. Life is slowly going back to what we all once called "normal," but this is sadly our new normal. Here is just a small reminder of what you should be doing to keep yourself safe and healthy!

Wash your hands.

Avoid Sharing Foods/Drinks.

Don't Go to Class if You are Feeling Ill.

If Something is Wrong See a Doctor.

Avoid Being Around Sick People.

Try Not to Touch Your Eyes, Mouth, or Nose.

I just want to remind everyone that COVID is still a big deal. The risk are still the same. It has become more normal and now you probably know more people that have had it than not, but it is still out there. It is still a big deal and not good to encounter. You might think you are invincible, but you in fact are not so keep washing your hands, wearing your mask, and being smart about COVID. This battle isn't over yet!

    COVID is a great topic to talk about. It started 2 years ago and people still do not believe it exists. It is no fun to wear a mask nobody likes it but it's a want to stop the virus from spreading. It is no fun to do classes from at home on Zoom so suck it up by following the rules and wear a mask. People who want the virus to end are the ones not following the rules. My bottom line is wear a mask, social distance, and get vaccinated.

    I think this is a good blog to talk about, just because its so relevant to us and going to school now. I like how you went and talked about ways that we can avoid all this like not coming to class, or even wearing a mask. I was up here last semester, so were you and it just wasn't the same here on campus with everyone else online and not on campus. I don't want that again so i hope we can get over this all soon. Good blog though i enjoyed reading it.

    I think this topic is great to talk about. I was online last semester and it was hard for me. I had to take a swimming class online. I do not want to go back to online again. you are right about that it is better to sit in class with a mask on then trying to do the classes online. For some of my class it would of been a lot better if was face to face.

There is Other Options then the ARC Weight Room....

Hey Slippery Rock! Have you ever experienced the ARC in it's prime time of the day? When everyone is hitting legs and taking their good ole time with the equipment and weights you want. It is seriously the WORST! So I just wanted to share some different options to get a workout in without going to the ARC weight room.  There is other options at the ARC like different workout classes like Rock spin, yoga, BOGA Fit, pilates, and deep water fitness. Some of the classes are only offered one day at a specific time and other classes have multiple instructors and times for the class. For more information on a specific class or to sign up check out the CORQ app.  There is also a pool that you could swim laps in if that's what you're into. Also, Slippery Rock has a beautiful campus that anyone could walk, there is even a nice track around it! For anyone who lives off campus most of the apartment complexes do offer small gyms that have decent equipment that you should check out and s...

Living in the in Between

College students live in this in between where they are free but they are not. They are out from their parents roofs and free from the rules they once argued over. Most parents probably are unaware what all their kids do at college. There really isn't any set rules saying this or that, just the law. No one is telling them to clean up their space, wash the dishes in the sink, to do their dirty laundry, to go outside, to be active, or even to eat. Although, most of us college kids have bills to pay from electric to schooling. College students live in the in between of the adult world but still a kid.  To all college kids, this is your reminder to live a balanced life. Manage the stress, make sure you are eating, be active, get  involved on campus, and still have fun. Slippery Rock offers us all an amazing gym (ARC) which is FREE, there are places other than McDonalds to eat at like Boozel and Meals by Ginger, and there are so many resources to reach out to if you are strugg...

Stress Management

 Everyone has their own schedules, trying to make time for this and that. From studying to having a social life to budgeting that little bit of money that is quickly evaporating in the bank. College students have a lot on their plates, and stress accumulates over time. Here are a few tips to help manage the stress. Exercise If you are unaware when you exercise it produces endorphins. Those endorphins are chemicals that are natural painkillers, they sort of give you a natural high. exercise also helps improve  sleeps, which ultimately helps with stress. I'm not saying you have to powerlift or anything like that, just simple physical activity like walking can go a long way with stress.  Eat Good Eating healthy and cutting back on high-fat, high-sugar, and reducing the amount of caffeine when you are stressed actually goes a long way. eating healthy helps your body have what it needs nutrition wise to fight off the stress. It might seem silly but it actua...
