It has been an extremely stressful semester. Syracuse University has been generous enough to grant students a wellness day, where it is prohibited for any academic related activity to take place on campus. They understand that students would greatly benefit from a day dedicated to support their well-being. There are a multitude of ways to spend your wellness day, and the University has published a list of activities that are available on this sunny Tuesday! Please keep reading to learn some amazing ways to spend this Wellness Day.
Hike at Green Lakes Park
There are no better way to calm your mind and soul than surrounding yourself with beautiful nature. Just 20 minutes away from SU, you can find Green Lakes State Park. There are two beautiful lakes and miles of trails. Syracuse University is hosting a hike from 12:30-4pm, and it is the perfect trip for any and all levels of hikers!
2. Wellness Meditation
While it may not be for everyone, meditation can be a very useful tool to calm your mind, body, and soul. It is the perfect activity to help you feel rejuvenated and allows you to recalibrate. Syracuse University is hosting a drop in meditation session from 4-5pm in Hendrik's Chapel. You can drop in at any time and stay for as long as you want - and remember..... BREATHE!
3. Sled Hockey
What better day to learn something and have a good time? From 5:15-7:30pm, SU will be hosting a sled hockey session at the Tennity Ice Skating Pavilion. Sled hockey is an adaptive form of hockey, and is an excellent way to get some exercise and learn a new skill. Absolutely no experience is necessary. Grab a few friends and learn something new!
