Thursday, November 7, 2024 Friendsgiving: Foster positivity and gratitude at your celebrations

The autumn holiday season is here, and for many Husker students, it’s a time to reconnect and reflect on experiences with friends. This tradition, known as Friendsgiving, is a casual, informal gathering where friends come together on or around Thanksgiving, often over a shared meal.

Whether you’re planning a Friendsgiving on campus or heading home to celebrate with friends, you can enjoy the festivities while prioritizing everyone’s well-being and creating a positive, responsible social environment.

Adding in fun study breaks will let you relax, keep you focused and help you stay alert.

Thursday, May 2, 2024 Try these study breaks to reduce end-of-semester overload

While cramming for tests and projects may seem like a rite of passage to generations of college students, it's not the most productive way to study. Even with the best-laid plans or intentions, the last-minute cram is not uncommon. That doesn’t mean you should keep your nose in the books all day and night. In fact, that can diminish the quality of your study session and your mental and physical well-being. Periodic breaks help you stay focused and alert.
