Stay in contact with your college friends!
S2S Hangouts
We know not being with your college friends is hard, motivating yourself, staying calm and changing living and studying situations are all difficult to deal with. But you can have your daily chats and laughs if you keep in contact via video or voice platforms! Students around the world are getting together for a coffee, a watch party or a pint via Zoom, Hangouts, Facetime! Whatever works for you! Share a screen so you all watch the latest ep of something, or share a Spotify playlist so you have background music for your meetup or even solo study! Dont know where to start? Thats OK, S2S have set up S2S Hangouts for all students. Facilitated by S2S volunteers these hangouts are on any and every topic, check out the calendar to find one you might like to join in!
Take time to unwind
Its important to take time during the day to have a break, let your mind rest.
while Netflix is great, sometimes it helps to step away from the constant input and allow your thoughts and concerns to float away. Meditations can really help, like a deep breath for your mind, a guided meditation can give us that little bit of space that perhaps you are not getting in your everyday life right now. Here are some wonderfully peaceful guided meditations for you to try, all free and available for you 24/7
