Welcome back, Bobcats! The well-anticipated Summer '16 classes are now underway. We hope these past three weeks of summer vacation have given everyone a well needed break to come back refreshed and ready to start classes again. Senior electronic media major Jasmine Clark started her summer class, Writing for Mass Media (MC 1313) with Lecturer Holly Wise, this week. She said the brief vacation helped her relax after the spring semester. “I just relaxed, chilled out and worked. I tried to mentally give myself a break," she said.It is important to have downtime after working hard. Check out The New York Times article, To Stay on Schedule, Take a Break, on the importance of taking regular breaks from mental tasks improves productivity and creativity and that skipping breaks can lead to stress and exhaustion. Clark said she likes the production aspect of electronic media and recommends any freshman who likes to analyze movies, to look into that major. Jasmine's ready for summer. Are you?
