Relaxation Room: A Quiet Escape at the LEC
College life is a rollercoaster, right? Homework, exams, and trying to balance school and going out all the time. If you’re looking for a chill spot to de-stress, you may want to look into the Relaxation Room in the Learning Engagement Center (LEC). Following a short break, this relaxing spot is back this semester and is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. to offer students a cozy and peaceful space to unwind.
What’s Inside the Relaxation Room?
So, unlike the usual study spaces you’ll encounter on and near campus, the Relaxation Room is set up specifically so that students can just relax. It’s got this awesome massaging chair and a foot massager that make you relax and let go of all that stress from those long classes or doing homework. And warm ambient lighting makes it cozy, so it’s the perfect place to actually relax and not give a care in the world about your troubles.
Why Visit the Relaxation Room?
If you prefer to unwind in a more casual and playful way, they have tons of puzzles and coloring books in the room—great for destressing without any screens or deadlines getting to you. They have these comfortable bean bags set up as well, so you can just hang out and chill in a casual setting. And, every so often, they do have activities that tie in with the whole stress relief and mindfulness theme.
There are countless reasons why you should check out this teeny-tiny gem on campus. First off, it’s seriously one of the only areas for just plain relaxing. Unlike libraries or study spaces that make you be super quiet and focused, the Relaxation Room is solely about making students relax—be it through snoozing, meditating, or just taking a step back for a moment.
Picture a long school day with many classes, when you’re getting genuinely fatigued but trudging all the way back to your dorm is just too much effort. Instead of fighting that exhaustion, students can just drop by the Relaxation Room for a quick pick-me-up. You can simply take a quick nap on the bean bag, get comfortable in the massaging chair, or just have some quiet time working on a puzzle or coloring—this room is perfect for unwinding.
It’s an ideal spot for friends to spend time together in a relaxed atmosphere. Though the common spaces on campus can become really crowded and noisy, the Relaxation Room is sort of an oasis where students hang out and talk or simply relax together without disturbances. It’s a good combination of social space and quiet time, so it’s an excellent escape from campus madness.
A Campus Resource Worth Using
With the pressures of university life, sometimes students forget to take a break. You know, stress and tiredness can build up and completely ruin your concentration, your mental well-being, and just overall feeling happy. The Relaxation Room is an incredibly low-cost way for students to unwind, recharge, and return to their day refreshed.
If you need a break at lunchtime, a chill nap, or just a few minutes of relaxation, the Relaxation Room in the LEC is open to you. The next time you’re feeling stressed, remember this peaceful spot is just a short walk away.
