While many students enjoyed their wellness day weekend, others were frustrated with travel restrictions and ongoing burnout.
Over the four-day wellness break, hundreds of Cornellians stopped watching their favorite shows or hanging out with friends, flocking to Bartels Hall to receive their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Students can sign up for being vaccinated on campus on April 23 — the first day of Cornell’s second set of Wellness Days.
I don’t feel entirely left behind by the administration. After a class did poorly on a prelim one of my professors is looking into changing how the class functions a little to address what might be lacking. My academic advisor reached out to see how the semester was going and if I needed anything. However, the thing I need is something they can’t give me, or at least have decided they won’t give me. More than anything I need a BREAK and the scary part is . . . a break isn’t really coming.
Following March Wellness Days, Cornellians are still facing high levels of burnout with no extended breaks in sight.
Students were able to take a break from work and head outside to enjoy the warm weather during the University’s Wellness Days.
There is more than one way to find calmness and relaxations on this semester’s first Wellness Days. If you’re swamped with work and studying, especially in preparation of this upcoming round of prelims, consider trying meditation. Not only does Cornell offer a ton of online resources to help you learn on your own, there are also guided meditation sessions over Zoom.
With this year being one of the few academic years without a spring break in Cornell’s history, the news has elicited mixed emotions from students of all classes.
Students express their concerns and thoughts on Cornell’s wellness days instead of spring break.
