Over the past week, Washburn has held many workshops focusing on various aspects of self awareness. From self care to healthy masculinity, campus workshops have facilitated important conversations that ultimately lend to individual success. 

Regardless of who you are, as a college student,  self awareness and self care are extremely important. We are all under enough stress as it is, so it is important to take time out of your busy schedule to take care of yourself. The better you take care of yourself, the more productive you will be. 

The editorial staff at the Washburn Review wanted to share a few of our favorite forms of self care. 

Andrew Shermoen

I like to play a video game or some kind of game that relaxes me. I never play anything stressful or something that requires too much skill. It distracts you from the stressful things around you and its nice to be immersed in something that just puts you in a peaceful, relaxing mood.

Colleen Kelly

I like to listen to music on full blast and run as a form of self care when I’m stressed.
