Stress-Break Activities Offered to Students During Finals

Submitted by Camie on

Finals can be stressful for students, but UGA librarians and staff hope to ease the week with a series of activities and stress-break challenges.

Beginning on Monday, Dec. 4, students can take inspirational notes at the entrances of UGA's busiest study buildings, the Main Library, McBay Science Library, and Miller Learning Center. Each note has a stress break challenge on the back, featuring a five to 15 minute activity, from visiting a meditation app offered free through UGA Well-Being Resources to getting hydrating or stretching. In addition, break stations will be available with activities such as coloring, origami, and poetry, giving students options for breaks even into the late-night hours at the study spots.

The week will also include events to take a break and destress.
