What De-Stressing at the University of Leicester is Like

Since it is exam season, I thought it’d be nice to upload another post regarding exams. It is no news that exam period can be a stressful time. As important as revision is, it is equally important to give yourself a break once in a while to relax. The Leicester Students’ Union comes up with great ways every year to help students de-stress during exams. I know that this information is available on the website but you’d be surprised by how many students are unaware of the resources available to them. I hope that if you happen to come across this blog, I help you in knowing that you have access to some amazing services on campus. Here are some of them:

a) Exam pack giveaway

Students will be given free exam packs including some essentials such as a wall planner, stationery and…(drumroll please) SWEETS! I know I could do with some sugar to cope with those stress levels! If you want to get your hands on one of these life-saving exam packs, visit the SU Square between 9 am and 12 pm or the David Wilson Library between 11 am to 3 pm.

b) Workshops

The wonderful Training Team at the SU will be organizing interactive workshops to help students learn time management and attain effective revision skills. Follow this link to book your place now!

c) Relaxation station

Ok this has to be the best one out of the lot. Free massages! Who could possibly say no to that?! Relax yourself with a free 10 minute back massage in the SU Square between 10:30 am and 3:30 pm on the 15th and 22nd May.

d) Furry friends

Spend some time with the Union’s cute little pups in the Training Room on Level-1. This is a very popular event so make sure you book a slot at the Union Reception well in advance.
