On Monday, Dec. 10 from 1-2:30 p.m., and Tuesday, Dec. 11 from 6:30-8 p.m., dogs from Therapy Dogs International will be in the Library lobby, helping you release some pressure. Studies have shown that therapy dogs can reduce anxiety and depression — so treat yourself to some time with a furry friend.
Make sure to stay healthy, mentally and physically. A simple forest bath in the Arcata Community Forest right behind campus is an easy way to boost your mood. A gym workout at the Student Recreation Center can do a world of good, too. Check the Wellbeing Map, an interactive way to find community, tools, and resources. And contact Student Health and Wellbeing Services for a variety of mental and health physical services and resources.
You can also unwind by visiting the Brain Booth on the Library’s second floor, where you can take some intentional brain breaks with biofeedback, sound and light therapy, VR goggles, coloring, meditation, and other activities. Find the Brain Booth hours on the Library website.
The Learning Center is available for all your academic needs, offering engineering, math, science, and general tutoring, as well as a writing studio and workshops on a variety of academic skills. See all the free services at learning.humboldt.edu, and don’t forget: the Learning Center has moved to the Campus Events Field during the Library Seismic Retrofit Project.
And HSU Dining Services is also wrapping up the semester. Be sure to check hours for campus eateries and markets, as some will close before the end of the week. Schedule here.
