Positives:

-The leaves are changing and fall (the season, not the semester which already started) is on the horizon!

-Beat the Blues week was an incredible success! Thanks to all the offices and clubs on campus that held events last week.

Negatives:

-Not a huge fan of having to miss events your own club is putting on because of class.

-Freshman and Junior class officer elections have concluded, but there are still vacant seats. Come on people, I know this isn’t the most popular leadership position on campus, but it’d be nice to see some more class pride out there!

The Battery Charge:

I hope everyone took something out of Beat the Blues Week. No, I don’t mean the cookies, milk and other freebies. I mean the fact that there are ways to deal with stress and depression, and you don’t have to do it alone! Find a friend, family member, RA, peer mentor or someone else you trust to confide in and ask for help. There are a multitude of services both on and off-campus that can help as well. You could mean the world to someone and not even know it. You matter, and make sure you remember that!
