Bulldog Update: Student Edition

Take a study break and see the last free student show of the semester on Thursday 4/25 at 7p and 8p. This month's show is From Earth to the Universe. 

Show Description: The night sky, both beautiful and mysterious, has been the subject of campfire stories, ancient myths and awe for as long as there have been people. A desire to comprehend the Universe may well be humanity's oldest shared intellectual experience. Yet only recently have we truly begun to grasp our place in the vast cosmos. To learn about this journey of celestial discovery, from the theories of the ancient Greek astronomers to today's grandest telescopes, we invite you to experience From Earth to the Universe.

Hello from Learn to Live! 

 Stress is a normal part of life but learning how to cope with it helps us navigate those times of uncertainty. In recognition of National Stress Awareness Month, here are some tips to manage stress:

 

•  Keep a positive attitude and accept that there are events that you cannot control. 
• Set limits appropriately and say no to requests that would create excessive stress in your life.
• Make time for hobbies and interests.
• Don't rely on alcohol, drugs, or other substances to reduce stress. These can stress your body even more. 
•  Seek out social support. Spend time with those you love. 

Our programs offer tools and strategies that help calm your mind and manage stress more effectively. We encourage you to start with a brief assessment and from there be guided into one of our programs, including Stress, Anxiety and Worry.

Learning to manage stress is a positive step to take towards enjoying a healthier, happier life. We look forward to having you join us this month!
