Fall into Self-care

About

Bun – Event Description Residents will participate in Fall Into Self-Care at North Commons, where they will have the opportunity to relax and focus on self-care before Thanksgiving break. Residents will make their own slime using different colors, glitter, and decorations as a fun way to relieve stress. They will also participate in a gratitude activity where they can write down things they are thankful for, such as family, friends, or positive experiences. This program will allow residents to take a break from school, practice self-care, and connect with others while reflecting on the positive things in their lives.
