It’s the beginning of the semester and for most students it can be one of the most stressful parts of the academic year. With it comes adjusting to a new schedule, new classes, new responsibilities and a new year with goals.The University of Louisville’s Porter Scholars hosted the first Healthy Happy Hour at the Cultural Center Jan. 15 to help students adjust.
The three-hour event dedicated itself to promoting ways to de-stress and focus on students’ mental health.
“We know that college is very stressful for students. In the wintertime, a lot of people battle seasonal depression too, so we wanted to give students different tools and tips for self-care and practicing stress-free habits,” Asya Bell, one of the Porter Scholars hosting Healthy Happy Hour, said.
