Crafting Afternoon: DIY Finals Survival Kits

Event Highlights: Finals Prep Crafternoon at Sunnen Lounge

As the academic calendar approaches its conclusion, many students find themselves navigating the challenges of final exams, often characterized by increased stress and anxiety. In recognition of these challenges, the University Community is hosting a unique and supportive initiative: the Finals Prep Crafternoon. This engaging event is scheduled to take place at the Sunnen Lounge, located within the university’s student union.

The Finals Prep Crafternoon offers students an opportunity not only to prepare for their exams but also to participate in a creative and therapeutic activity designed to foster self-care and wellbeing during an otherwise hectic period. Participants will have the chance to assemble their very own Finals Survival Kit, an encouraging collection of essential study aids to support their academic endeavors.

Each kit will include a selection of practical items such as sticky notes, highlighters, pens, stress balls, and tea bags, all of which contribute to maintaining focus and alleviating stress. To add a personal touch, students will also craft a motivational note to include in their kit, serving as a tangible reminder of resilience and positivity while they study.

This initiative is particularly timely as students juggle the demands of studying, writing papers, and engaging in various projects that culminate at the end of the semester. The event encourages not only individual participation but also provides an opportunity for students to create a kit for friends or peers, promoting a sense of community and support within the student body.

Importantly, all materials required for creating the Finals Survival Kits will be provided at no cost, making this event accessible to all students. The inclusive nature of this workshop highlights the university’s commitment to student wellness, emphasizing the importance of mental health and emotional support during high-pressure periods.

Students are invited to drop by the Sunnen Lounge for this event. Whether to relieve some last-minute pressure before finals or to uplift a fellow student, the Finals Prep Crafternoon promises to be a rewarding experience. With creativity at its core, this initiative presents a low-effort, high-reward opportunity for students to foster their wellbeing and prepare effectively for the upcoming exam challenges.
