<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When surrounded by thousands of other students on campus and sharing classroom space, spreading colds and viruses is easy if you're not careful. These tips can help keep you from getting sick.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">●<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span> Wash your hands. Studies have shown that simple hand washing can help prevent a large number of illnesses. So wash your hands, especially any time you'll be touching your nose, mouth or eyes or if you've been around others who are sick.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">●<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Don't go to class. If you're sick, don't force yourself to go to class. It will only make you feel worse and infect other students. Email your professors that you're ill and stay home and rest, trust me, they will appreciate it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">●<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Get to the doctor. If you have symptoms that aren't showing any signs of clearing up within a few days, you may need to take a trip to the Center for Health and Counseling. A simple cold can turn into something much worse if left alone, so seek help if you aren’t feeling any better. And don’t worry about it breaking the bank, a visit to the CHC medical clinic is only $10!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">●<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Drink lots of fluids. Colds and flu can wreck havoc on your body, often depriving it of much needed fluids. Replenish these by drinking plenty of water you’re feeling under the weather. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">●<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Get a flu shot. With so many germs around, sometimes getting a flu shot is the best thing you can do to avoid getting sick. The CHC offers the flu shot every year at a reduced price!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Students can get run down with so much going on. These tips can help you beat the stress.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">●<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Create a routine. If you get yourself in the habit of studying, working out, and sleeping at certain hours, it will be easier to fit in all the things you need to do in a day without feeling too stressed out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">●<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Give yourself a break. If you've been working steadily for hours, give your eyes and mind a chance for a rest by taking a break. You can come back feeling more refreshed and ready to go.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">●<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span> Understand you can't do everything. While you might want to go to class, work, play a sport, and participate in clubs and social activities, the reality is that sooner or later you're going to get run down by trying to do so much. Focus on doing the things you truly love and forget about the rest.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">●<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Get help. If you're feeling overwhelmed, feel free to reach out and ask for help. At $10 a session our licensed clinical social workers and psychologist here at the CHC are available to talk at any time. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">●<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Take advantage of campus resources and programs. The Center for Health and Counseling offers a wide variety of services that can help you destress, including massages for only $10!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We hope you will use these tips and take advantage of the resources and services the Center for Health and Counseling offers.

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Being bogged down by thoughts and emotions takes a toll on your mental health. It seems easier to pretend it isn’t there or to tell people that you’re okay when you’re really not. But in doing this, your mind is left to wander and chances are you will end up making yourself feel <i>worse</i> and often <i>more stressed than before!</i></span></div>
<div class="p1">

<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">One of the many outlets for stress is to let your artistic side flow. You don’t have to be someone with previous experience with an art form, because the point is to do what makes you personally feel better, not create the next portrait to hang in the Louvre.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">With finals week approaching and the stress inevitably
coming, try some meditation exercises to relax, think clearer, and reduce
anxiety.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">This can take as little as 5 minutes or up to 30 minutes if you choose, whatever you feel you need to become relaxed. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MSL78wiiO4U/WOvkV8DgZgI/AAAAAAAAAlE/aNOqIqu8Elk66Jm4lN6gRCHLxtNbJDXwACK4B/s1600/O6S21L0.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MSL78wiiO4U/WOvkV8DgZgI/AAAAAAAAAlE/aNOqIqu8Elk66Jm4lN6gRCHLxtNbJDXwACK4B/s400/O6S21L0.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><u>Ways to Prepare:</u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Find
a quiet, calm, and relaxing place. Preferably find a place where electronics
are either not there or if they are they are not distracting. Meditation is
something you can do anywhere such as school, work, or home.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><u>What can Meditation do for you?</u><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Meditation
can reduce stress, fears, and anxiety. Meditation can also deepen sleep,
stimulate clearer thinking, and enhance our creativity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><u>What are the types of Meditation?</u><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">There
are over 30 different types of meditation that you can do. Some of the most
common, easy, and stimulating meditations are; deep breathing, guided
relaxation, mindfulness meditation, and yoga. Meditation is able to take us out
of the world and our stress for a few minutes and let us just breathe, relax,
and be calm. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><u>Where can you find these exercises?</u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">The
easiest and cheapest way to find guided relaxation and mindfulness meditation
is to search on Youtube for them. Deep breathing can also be googled or you can
do the 4 second inhale, 4 second hold, and 4 second exhale. Yoga is either done
by also a Youtube video or you can sign up for a class at school or a gym.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Are you finding yourself stressing out about that
presentation that you should do for your final? Do you have anxiety about group
projects? Is it even worth it to make friends, and should you make time for
them? Is being social too much work? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">If you have been the one asking these questions, I might
have some answers that will hopefully aid you to the point of relaxation, as
well as being able to understand the importance of having a social life. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qwPAGO7r9Rw/WOKwX_h5_gI/AAAAAAAAAk0/zRHN6z0FHMEm5mV_L6lQqyEMN6VmPMFTgCK4B/s1600/1279.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="280" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qwPAGO7r9Rw/WOKwX_h5_gI/AAAAAAAAAk0/zRHN6z0FHMEm5mV_L6lQqyEMN6VmPMFTgCK4B/s400/1279.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Q: Why do teachers make me do presentations? How can I
present in an interesting manner? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">A: One reason being is because once you start teaching the
material yourself, you come to understand the material better. Another may be
because since you are a college student and you think like a college student,
teaching to your peers because the though process is the same, perhaps you may
be able to answer questions that others may have but are too afraid to ask.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>A
couple tips to presenting….. </b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">1. Don’t read word for word what you have on a PowerPoint
slide. Everyone can read for themselves. Put a couple of key points on each
slide, or perhaps a picture related to the topic instead. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">2. Use a bigger font. Small words/small font=people will
fall asleep. If it too hard to read at first glance, nobody will try hard to
read it. Use big font and not too bright or dark of letters. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">3. Use more animation in your voice because we have all been
in lectures where the professor had the same voice the whole time.. It is hard
to pay attention. Move around the room & face the crowd. Movement cause the
students to follow where you go, which in turn creates some sort of focus. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Try it! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Being social can relieve stress!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">After having your designated study time, take a moment to
talk to a family member, go out to dinner, call someone on the phone or
facetime. Taking a moment to talk to someone, allows your brain to take a break
and engage in something else that it less taxing.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">The key is to talk to people
who are not stressful people or that cause you anxiety. The saying “surround
yourself with people that reflect who you want to be and how you want to feel,
because energies are contagious,” could not be more important. A challenge to
you would be, <b>figure out who those people are to you.</b></span></div>

Extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) is the deadliest and most dangerous type. It is resistant to at least four of the best anti-TB drugs and has spread worldwide. Now in more than 105 countries worldwide, XDR-TB is at least 20 times costlier to treat and takes more than two years to cure. In most places, less than half of all patients treated are cured, with death rates as high as 80 percent.</div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Getting a better night sleep can consist of a better routine before bed, exercise, nutrition, relaxation, and sleep positions.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0f97p8s59e0/WMrI_uGD2sI/AAAAAAAAAkQ/N-UqDRfZ2sk_WAZRtj7la34cwEBmhGRwgCK4B/s1600/Cat-Sleep-Picture-40.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="250" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0f97p8s59e0/WMrI_uGD2sI/AAAAAAAAAkQ/N-UqDRfZ2sk_WAZRtj7la34cwEBmhGRwgCK4B/s400/Cat-Sleep-Picture-40.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Some routine ideas can include reading, listening to calming music, journaling, taking
a nice bath, or drinking some sleep tea.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nutrition can affect our night sleep. </span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Drink less caffeine and eat less sugar. Don't eat right before bed, it turns the food into fat instead of using it as energy for our
body. Instead, have a light snack or drink such as a glass of water and apple. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Exercising can also put a big strain on our night
sleep. The National Sleep Foundation states you shouldn’t exercise 3 hours
prior to bed. This is because when we exercise we increase our body temperature
and it energizes you. Your body temperature needs to
be cool to fall asleep and relaxed not energized. This can differ
person to person. If you are able to exercise an hour before and have no
problems sleeping then go for it, this is only a suggestion.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Ever have nights that you lie wide awake
with no hope of falling asleep? Try this easy trick, while you are laying in bed do some deep breathing, guided
imagery, and progressive relaxation. An
example of this is inhaling for 4 seconds, holding it for 4 seconds, and
exhaling for 4 seconds. Doing this 6 times through helps to relax and bring you
into the sleeping state of mind. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 13.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">First off, is there such a thing as too much
sleep? According to the National Sleep Foundation, they answered yes. This is
for the people that sleep 11 hours or more a night, day in and day out. This
may be a result that the quality of sleep that you are getting is poor, which
might mean that you have sleep apnea or a chemical imbalance. If this is you,
please seek medical attention.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 13.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Secondly, can you fight the urge to sleep when it
isn’t appropriate i.e. in the middle of an in-class lecture? YES! You can!
There are a couple of things that you could do to fight the urge. If you have a
piece of gum, pop that in your mouth. If you are typing on your computer,
switch to writing, bounce your leg, tap your toes, switch positions that you
have been sitting in for the last hour, excuse yourself briefly and get up to
go get a couple of gulps of water. All of these things that are listed are so
simple but just might have a GIANT impact.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Last, but definitely not least, is there a trick
to napping? Sure thing! For those of you that may not have gotten enough sleep
previously at night, a nap can be a great solution. The trick is the length of
your nap will determine the effectiveness. The recommended length is either 20
minutes or 90 minutes. The benefits with a 20 minute snooze will enhance motor
skills versus 90 minutes where this will help make new connections in the brain
and can aid in solving creative problems stated by the National Sleep
Foundation. #ChoosetoSnooze<o:p></o:p></span></div>

time, judgement, mood while driving & vision. It is no surprise that drowsy
drivers are responsible for 21% of fatal crashes each year. Those responsible

If you do end up losing sleep, be prepared for the multiple effects. There is a
relationship between mood and sleep. Losing sleep may cause or enhance feelings
of stress, irritability, motivation, anger, and depression. Could this impact
how you drive? In reverse, mood & depression can lead to sleep problems as
well. As a student, you may have already experienced this. How many nights have
stress & anxiety prevented you from falling asleep? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If falling asleep is impacting your daily living, schedule an
appointment with a counselor at the Center for Health & Counselor!<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">As Valentine’s Day
approaches, couples are preparing to show each other how much each one cares
for one another. They buy gifts, flowers, and set up their ideal
date night!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">However, there is one more way to show you care that is often
overlooked: </span><b style="font-size: 11pt;"><u>Consent</u></b><span style="font-size: 11pt;">. Consent
is the agreement made between individuals to engage in sexual activity.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Before
being intimate, it is important to communicate with each other, establish
boundaries and get verbal consent (i.e. “Yes” or “I am okay with that”) for
sexual activities. In the heat of the moment, remember to ask questions along
the way like “Are you comfortable” or “Is this okay?”</span></span></div>

life with HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is possible. However, prevention
is still an important goal in the community. Once HIV is present in the body,
the virus attacks and weakens the immune system leaving the person susceptible
to many illnesses. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

reduce the risk of HIV infection by blocking and preventing the spread of the
virus. Before the physician can prescribe the medication, you must have tested
HIV negative from the 3-6 months that you last had engaged in unprotected sex
(oral, anal, vaginal) or injected drugs. </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">November is here is which marks the beginning of Diabetes
Awareness Month. In the United States, diabetes is an epidemic that is growing
at an alarming rate. Do you have a hard time believing this? As the 7<sup>th</sup>
leading cause of death, the CDC estimates that 1 in 11 have diabetes and is
projected to increase to 1 in 3 by 2050 [Source: <a href="http://stateofobesity.org/diabetes/">State of Obesity</a>]. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What is diabetes? Normally, the pancreas releases a hormone
called insulin to lower blood glucose (sugar) levels. A person with diabetes
cannot produce enough insulin or use insulin which causes blood sugar levels to
increase. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disorder where your immune system accidentally confuses pancreas cells for an infectious agent & attacks it. As
a result, the pancreas produces little or no insulin. In Type 2 Diabetes, a
person develops insulin resistance (the body is not using insulin like it
should) & overtime the pancreas doesn’t make enough insulin. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is the
important part: <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Type 2 diabetes is

Contrary to the common belief, a person with diabetes does not need to

by planning meals in advance, researching healthier recipes, and getting advice

smaller portions, & eat more fiber, beans, & dark green or orange
vegetables. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Stay active.</b> The
National Diabetes Association suggests engaging in aerobic exercise &
strength training for 150 minutes each week. It is highly recommended to create
a plan, get support by getting the people you care about to join you, and to switch
up the routine often. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Take care of yourself. </b>A person diagnosed with chronic disease,
like diabetes, is at high risk for depression and other complications. Try
enrolling in a support program or joining an online community. Set up
appointments with your physician to examine your mental health, foot care, and
to monitor your blood glucose levels, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels.
While you are at it, get a flu shot. Did you know that you are <u>3 times</u>
more likely to get the flu if you have diabetes? Don’t have diabetes? Protect
those around you!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="p7">
<b>3. PROTECT YOUR EYES: </b>One night is not worth your eye health. The best way to protect your eyes from potential complications is to talk to your eye doctor and learn about healthy contact lens wear and care habits.</div>
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li2">Celebrate virtually on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest.</li>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Often
times in college, we find ourselves surrounded by alcohol. Whether it’s at a
party or just a few friends, peer pressure can often make us feel like we have
to drink. It makes us feel like we may not be “cool” or accepted. Well, I’m
here to tell you that there are other ways to have fun and party without really
drinking.</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

–</span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"> </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mocktails are a
delicious alternative to actually consuming alcohol. You still get the fancy
drink, without the burn or negative effects of consuming alcohol. There are
hundreds of recipes online, or if you know of some, make it and just cut out
the alcohol.</span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Apple Chancery";"><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 200%; margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">

Games – </span></b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Drinking games
are one of the biggest ways you can binge drink, but they’re just so fun! Try
replacing the “beer” in Beer Pong with juice, soda, or even water!

Your Own Parties – </span></b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This
one is probably the easiest way to avoid drinking. If you find yourself sick
and tired of being the DD for your friends, or you just hate being that person
who has to hold someone’s hair while the projectile vomit, throw your own
alcohol-free parties. Make some mocktails, play some “drinking” games and you
and your friends will have a blast!<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If
none of these interest you, and you still choose to drink, that’s fine. Just
make sure you are 21 years of age or older, and that you do it safely. Binge
drinking never ends well, whether you wake up with a major hang over, or<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>leave three sad voice-mails to your ex,
something will go wrong. Even if you do drink, make sure you try out these
three awesome alternatives to drinking.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have you ever thought to yourself, “Oh just one more ____
can’t hurt?” How many of us have been guilty of this statement? This can be
with anything, nothing in particular. But then take a step back to when you
said this to yourself and that ‘just one more’ turned into 3-5 more than what
we had planned?</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In this case “Oh just
one more drink can’t hurt”, is a statement that is said a little too often. More
than not, that one more drink will turn into 3 or 5 more. Let us first ask
ourselves, how many/much have you already consumed tonight? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Binge drinking is a problem that not a lot of people give
credit to or think that it even happens that often. But let me reassure you
with a few stats that the Center for Disease Control has come out with; More
than 38 million US adults binge drink (that is not including all the underage
drinkers), Binge Drinkers do so about 4 times a month, and the largest number
of drinks per binge is on average about 8. Drinking too much, binging, causes
about 80,000 deaths in the United States each year and recently accumulated,
costed the economy about $223.5 billion.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Binge Drinking means that men have 5 or more alcoholic
drinks within a short period of time and for women 4 or more.</span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You may then look at all the stats and say
that this doesn’t apply to you or it is not within my age group but the age
group with the most binge drinkers are 18-34-year old’s. That is us, the
students of Salt Lake Community College. So when you go to that party tomorrow
or next weekend, know your limit and think before you drink.</span></div>

Strategies to Reduce Testing Anxiety</h2>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Intense fear of failure, anxious thoughts,
dizziness, sweating etc. Worse than
that, the ultimate blank you might experience when you freeze up and can’t
remember a single thing you studied for hours the night before. <b>Sound
familiar</b>? You guessed it! I am talking about Testing Anxiety. Believe it or not, you might not be the only
one that’s avoided taking a test, or who has high tailed it out of the Testing
Center. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">This experience can be traumatizing to say the least. Yet students often drop classes when they
fail exams, not even realizing there could be a term, let alone supportive
services, for what they are going through.
<b>Below are a few strategies for
addressing this very common problem among college students. </b>If you find these strategies are not
enough to help, our campus counseling center provides solutions for addressing
this problem (801) 957-4268. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Take steps to protect your health by getting the care you need to prevent disease, disability, and injuries. Regular check-ups are important. Preventive care can keep disease away or detect problems early, when treatment is more effective. Talk to your health care provider to learn more about what screenings and exams you need and when.</div>

In commemoration of National Sleep Awareness Week and our sleep health event <a href="http://slcchws.blogspot.com/2015/02/sleep-health.html" target="_blank">tomorrow</a>, here is an article from the <a href="http://sleepfoundation.org/sleep-tools-tips/healthy-sleep-tips" target="_blank">National Sleep Foundation</a>:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16.799999237060547px; margin-bottom: 15pt; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Healthy sleep habits can make a big difference in your quality of life. Having healthy sleep habits is often referred to as having good “<a href="http://www.sleepfoundation.org/article/ask-the-expert/sleep-hygiene" style="color: #0053a0; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none;">sleep hygiene</a>.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16.799999237060547px; margin-bottom: 15pt; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Try to keep the following sleep practices on a consistent basis:</div>
<ol start="1" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16.799999237060547px; margin: 0px;" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;"><h3 style="color: #0053a0; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 0.5em;">
Stick to the same bedtime and wake up time, even on the weekends.</h3>
This helps to regulate your body's clock and could help you fall asleep and stay asleep for the night.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;"><h3 style="color: #0053a0; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 0.5em;">
Practice a relaxing bedtime ritual.</h3>
<span style="margin: 0px;">A relaxing, routine activity right before bedtime conducted away from bright lights helps separate your sleep time from activities that can cause excitement, stress or anxiety which can make it more difficult to fall asleep, get sound and deep sleep or remain asleep.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;"><h3 style="color: #0053a0; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 0.5em;">
Avoid<span style="color: windowtext; margin: 0px;"> naps</span><strong style="margin: 0px;">, especially in the afternoon.</strong></h3>
Power <a href="http://www.sleepfoundation.org/sleep-topics/napping" style="color: #0053a0; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="napping">napping</a> may help you get through the day, but if you find that you can't fall asleep at bedtime, eliminating even short catnaps may help.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;"><h3 style="color: #0053a0; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 0.5em;">
<span style="color: windowtext; margin: 0px;">Exercise</span><strong style="margin: 0px;"> daily.</strong></h3>
Vigorous <a href="http://www.sleepfoundation.org/sleep-topics/diet-exercise-and-sleep" style="color: #0053a0; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="exercise">exercise</a> is best, but even light exercise is better than no activity. Exercise at any time of day, but not at the expense of your sleep.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;"><h3 style="color: #0053a0; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 0.5em;">
Evaluate your room.</h3>
<span style="color: windowtext; margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;">Design your <a href="http://bedroom.sleepfoundation.org/" style="color: #0053a0; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="sleep environment">sleep environment</a></span></span><span style="margin: 0px;"> to establish the conditions you need for sleep. Your bedroom should be cool</span> – between 60 and 67 degrees. Your bedroom should also be free from any noise that can disturb your sleep. Finally, your bedroom should be free from any light. Check your room for noises or other distractions. This includes a bed partner's sleep disruptions such as snoring. Consider using blackout curtains, eye shades, ear plugs, "white noise" machines, humidifiers, fans and other devices.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;"><h3 style="color: #0053a0; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 0.5em;">
Sleep on a comfortable mattress and pillows.</h3>
<span style="margin: 0px;">Make sure your mattress is comfortable and supportive. The one you have been using for years may have exceeded its life expectancy – about 9 or 10 years for most good quality mattresses. Have comfortable pillows and make the room attractive and inviting for sleep but also free of allergens that might affect you and objects that might cause you to slip or fall if you have to get up during the night.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;"><h3 style="color: #0053a0; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 0.5em;">
Use bright light to help manage your <span style="color: windowtext; margin: 0px;">circadian rhythms</span>.</h3>
<strong style="margin: 0px;"></strong>Avoid bright light in the evening and expose yourself to sunlight in the morning. This will keep your <a href="http://www.sleepfoundation.org/sleep-topics/sleep-drive-and-your-body-clock" style="color: #0053a0; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="circadian rhythms">circadian rhythms</a> in check.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;"><h3 style="color: #0053a0; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 0.5em;">
Avoid alcohol, cigarettes, and heavy meals in the evening.</h3>
Alcohol, cigarettes and <a href="http://www.sleepfoundation.org/sleep-topics/caffeine-and-sleep" style="color: #0053a0; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="caffeine">caffeine</a> can disrupt sleep. Eating big or spicy meals can cause discomfort from indigestion that can make it hard to sleep. It is good to finish eating at least 2-3 hours before bedtime.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;"><h3 style="color: #0053a0; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 0.5em;">
Wind down. Your body needs time to shift into sleep mode, so spend the last hour before bed doing a calming activity such as reading.</h3>
For some people, using an electronic device such as a laptop can make it hard to fall asleep, because the particular type of light emanating from the screens of these devices is activating to the brain. If you have trouble sleeping, avoid electronics before bed or in the middle of the night.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px;"><h3 style="color: #0053a0; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 0.5em;">
If you can't sleep, go into another room and do something relaxing until you feel tired.</h3>
<span style="margin: 0px;">It is best to take work materials, computers and televisions out of the sleeping environment. Use your bed only for sleep and sex to strengthen the association between bed and sleep. If you associate a particular activity or item with anxiety about sleeping, omit it from your bedtime routine.</span></li>

February 7 is National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, an observance intended to raise awareness of human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) and encourage action, such as HIV testing, to reduce the disproportionate impact of HIV/AIDS on blacks or African Americans in the United States. Two of the three goals of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy are to reduce new HIV infections and HIV disparities (<i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">1</i>).</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Compared with other races and ethnicities, blacks had the highest HIV incidence in 2010, with an estimated rate of 68.9 per 100,000 population, which was nearly eight times the estimated rate of 8.7 among whites (<i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">2</i>). By the end of 2011, an estimated 491,100 of the estimated 1.2 million persons living with HIV in the United States were blacks, accounting for the highest percentage (41%) of persons living with HIV, followed by whites (34%) and Hispanics/Latinos (20%) (<i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">3</i>). Among blacks living with HIV in 2011, 85% had their infection diagnosed, 40% were engaged in care, 36% were prescribed antiretroviral therapy, and 28% were virally suppressed (<a href="http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm6347a5.htm" style="color: #4a006e; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">4</a>).</div>
