GROUP B UNIT 2, STUDY BREAK
Being a busy college student, it is very easy for one to become overwhelmed by schoolwork and your life revolves around upcoming tests, homework assignments, and presentations. With that being said, it is very important for every student to step back, and take an hour or two a day for him or herself. Working out is an excellent way for college students reduce stress, improve their memory (which can be extremely helpful if you are cramming for an upcoming exam), help with focus (also great for long nights at memorial or college library), and overall puts you in a better mood.
As Elle Woods from the film “Legally Blonde” once said “exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy!” So it is time for all UW badgers to make themselves happy and take an hour out of their day to exercise! I have provided 3 great opportunities right here on campus that will make it easier for students to add a little physical activity into their day!
