Relax & Reset: Finals Week Edition!

During one of the most demanding times of the semester, we were excited to host a special Finals Week Wellness Event designed to help students pause, recharge, and take care of their mental and physical well-being. The turnout was fantastic, and the atmosphere was calm, comforting, and full of community support.

Here’s a detailed look at everything we offered:

Coloring & Creativity Tables

We set up dedicated coloring stations with a variety of relaxing, high-quality drawings (the ones attached to the email), giving students a simple yet effective way to unwind. Many shared that taking a few minutes to color helped them reset and refocus before returning to studying.

Instrumental Music for Focus & Relaxation

Soft instrumental music played throughout the space, creating a soothing environment perfect for mindful breaks. The background music helped reduce stress, lower noise levels, and bring a sense of calm to the room.

Guided Meditation Breaks

Students had the option to participate in short guided meditation sessions. Whether following our in-person facilitation or YouTube meditation videos, these sessions offered a much-needed opportunity to breathe deeply, ground themselves, and let go of finals-related tension.

Bracelet-Making Station

One of the most popular stations! Students enjoyed creating custom bracelets using different beads and materials. This hands-on activity allowed for creativity while also giving students a meaningful keepsake to take with them as a reminder of self-care and resilience.

Light Stretching Station (“Stretch Breaks”)

With yoga mats available, students could step aside for a few minutes to stretch, release muscle tension from long study sessions, and improve circulation. These mini stretch breaks were a refreshing way to reset physically and mentally.

Comfort Snacks & Drinks

To keep energy levels up, we provided coffee, tea, and a variety of treats, including muffins and pain au chocolat. Students appreciated the chance to refuel with something warm and delicious before heading back to their study sessions.

Thank you to every student who joined us. We know finals week can be overwhelming, and we’re proud to offer a space where you can take a breath, recharge, and feel supported. We hope this event brought you moments of peace, creativity, and connection during a demanding week.

We look forward to hosting more wellness-focused events to support you throughout the year!
