How Fall Can Be a Great Stress Reliever
Written on November 2nd, 2009 at 12:00 pm by jgraham.Mid to late October is the time when many students begin to complain about the weather being too cold or class work being too much of a hassle. Being New Yorkers, we know what cold is and October is nothing compared to the December or January frigidness. It is true that midterms are tough, but students need to take the time to breathe and readjust before becoming too overloaded. Here are some reasons why the fall season should help relieve stress:
1. We Are Located on Keuka Lake
Neamo’s Point is beautiful during any season and by just taking ten minutes to look out at the lake and the scarlet and golden leaves surrounding it, stress should be lifted off of your shoulders almost instantly.
2. Search for That Last Pumpkin
Even though pumpkin season is nearing its end, it’s never too late to search for a good pumpkin. Take an hour or so to forget about your schoolwork and find that remaining pumpkin.
3. Attend a Haunted House
This is the time for Haunted Houses and Hayrides. Nothing says stress-relief better than a good scream.
4. Be a Kid – Roll in the Leaves
Take time to be a child again and roll around in a pile of leaves! Keuka has big, beautiful trees so why not take advantage of what they produce. Bring some friends along and be a kid again.
5. Take a Relaxing Walk
Bundle yourself up in a hoodie and scarf and walk around campus. If you are one of those efficient students, bring a few note cards along with you and glance at them once and a while.
