Managing your stress is a difficult challenge in college, and it is even harder to do during exam time. Each student is different and may utilize different activities to help them relax. Coloring is a method of mindfulness and can be used as a relaxation tool during those times. Students will have a chance to color to take a mental break from their tests and assignments as well as participate in other mindful practices that they can take home and use.
