Emotional Wellness

-


It is so important to be connected with the world around us. Life goes by fast and if you don't stop to look around for a second, you'll miss it. It is also important we speak to each other with emotional maturity. So many of us in college find ourselves overwhelmed by everything. It is vital we take time out of our day to connect with the people and things around us. Walking the the park or going to a lake to fish, alone time can help calm the mind and collect thoughts. If you ever have time, check up on the friends you don't speak to as often, you never know, they could be going through a lot. Your one text or call could mean the world to them. We get so caught up with school work, social life, and family connections. It is important to add balance and to reach out if you need help.

    Hey Mario, I thought your post was very relatable. I think you had a lot of good stuff to say like checking in on people. But I like your point on connecting with people. I think often times we take that opportunity for granted. Building connections with people is a privilege and a blessing. Very good post Mario.

    Your message highlights such a meaningful reminder about slowing down and reconnecting with what matters. Many college students forget that taking care of mental and emotional health is just as important as schoolwork. Checking in on friends and giving yourself time outdoors can make a huge difference in how you feel each day. Balance isn’t always easy, but small efforts to stay grounded help us stay strong. Thank you for encouraging others to pause, breathe, and support the people around them.

    I agree that college can be a very stressful time for many people. You're suddenly away from home and have expectations to meet. I have many friends and people close to me that experience a lot of stress from school, a common theme among them is also being in engineering. Checking on those around you is very important as you never know what someone is dealing with. This is a very serious topic and I'm glad you covered it!

    I really like what you said about slowing down and connecting with the world around us. It’s so easy to get caught up in everything going on in college. Taking time for yourself, whether it’s a walk or some quiet reflection, can make such a big difference. I also love your reminder to check in on friends; even a simple message can mean more than we realize.

Sleep is a Need

Sleeping is a Need The right amount of sleep each night is super important. The proper amount of time someone should be sleeping per night is 8 hours. I mean who doesn't like sleep? I feel that we find it hard to find time to sleep as college students. This is a common wellness concern I have for our generation. Not only do we get less sleep, we end up staying up staring at our screens. This seems to be a huge cause for sleeping in class and lack of energy throughout the day. I think I have the perfect solution to this ongoing issue. We as students seem to forget about time management. Many of us end up deciding to do social activities during the daytime instead of focusing on their studies. There are ways of doing this that create a healthier and more productive lifestyles. Some options may be alarms on your phone to mark work or study times, a planner with your day or week mapped out, or whiteboard with a to do list on it. These are all ways to stay on a healthy schedule and to b...

Exercise is Key

  Exercise seems to be harder to fit into our schedules the older we get. From coursework loads to eventually maybe having kids. We all have our time constraints, but it is vital we all get in exercise each day. This includes dedication and commitment. I would say at least a half hour a day is manageable for most full time adults with kids. This could even be you pushing your child in a stroller on a decent walk. Exercise is what builds muscle and endurance. Without consistent exercise, the older we get the more likely we will be inmobile and weak. At the end of the day, we all have a choice to make. Do we want to live long healthy lives, or do we choose not to put in the effort.  "Who's gonna row the boats" - David Goggins
