From the Counseling Center:
Glory Daze. Graduating seniors are often afflicted with a strange malady known as “senioritis.” You’ve probably seen the signs: restlessness, difficulty staying focused, uncertainty about the future, indecisiveness, and bouts of giddy happiness followed closely by tearful sadness. Seniors’ thought processes are occupied largely by whatever comes next (grad school, job search, wedding plans, new job), so there’s not much left over for completing this term. While we all know how exciting it can be to end one phase of life and begin another, we also know it’s important to adequately complete the current phase. In fact, sometimes it’s essential because we can’t enter the next stage until we do. The only real cure for “senioritis” is graduation but the Counseling Center offers some help that can alleviate the worst symptoms. If your graduating senior is struggling to complete this final term, encourage him or her to come in and talk with one of our friendly counselors.

Group Ex Incentive Program
We’re entering the final month for this very popular and fun incentive program which will run until April 28. Students will sign up at the front desk and receive a card that will be kept at the front desk for their convenience. When they complete a class a front desk staff person will mark their card. When they have completed a certain number of classes they will receive prizes such as a FSC Wellness water bottle, FSC towel or when they’ve completed 30 classes they’ll be entered into a drawing for a $50 Gift Card.
FREE Personal Fitness Consulting
Through our Jump Start program, our fitness staff can help students reach their health and fitness goals. We offer full fitness assessments, functional movement screenings, personalized exercise program design and instruction and nutrition education.
Bicycle Daily Checkout Program
The Wellness Center still offers their daily bike checkout program. Students can sign out a bicycle to ride around beautiful Lake Hollingsworth or go to Publix or uptown to pick up needed items. There is no charge for this service but there is no overnight check out of bicycles.
