The Spring 2015 installment of Relaxathon is officially underway. This event will take place May 4 – 13 in the Andersen Library.
This semester’s stress relieving efforts will feature student favorites such as coloring pages, a candy cart and several pet therapy dates. It will also include button-making, Try-It-Tuesday’s free healthy snacks, and silly putty, luggage tag/bookmarks and stress ball making.
Free items geared toward the students also include coffee on weekends and late nights, along with popcorn on evenings the Library is open until 2am.
The Library will stay open for extended hours during May 8 – 18 for students utilizing the Library space as a place to complete finals homework.
The events are open to anyone interested – all are encouraged to come take their mind off finals stress!
One of my relaxation techniques is to do mazes.
We’ve got a book on mazes! Mazes and labyrinths; a book of puzzles (Main Collection, 3rd Floor, GV1507 .M3 S48 1961). Google Books says “amusements using principle of maze, most based on story situations. Quite unusual” (http://books.google.com/books?id=VZJYAAAAYAAJ&source=gbs_ViewAPI)
