与他人一起寻找快乐
Get to know what type of friendship network you have by taking 这个测试. 然后使用 该工作表 to map out your support system and figure out who the people in your life are who matter? Pick out one or two people that you haven’t spoken to in a while and make a point to reach out to them. Write them a handwritten note, give them a call, DM them, or send them an email. Tell them you are thinking of them and that you cherish having them in your life.
找到你的心流
Many of us are faced with a lot more free time then normal. Why not take this opportunity to find new activities that you can get lost in? Don’t feel intimidated to apply to clubs that you might not get into, cast a wide net! Your group of people is here on campus, when you are being your true self they will find you. It can seem hard to get involved at a school like BC, filled with lots of involved and high achieving people. But don’t let that diminish your sense of self. Especially freshman year, be sure to check out the list of organizations on the 参与平台 and email members to ask what it’s like to be a member of that club - What do they value? 他们为什么要参与进来? 他们是如何受益的?? Find the ones that align most closely to your own interests and values.
是包容的
Spending time with your friends? Making dinner plans with your roommates? 组成学习小组? 在你做之前, think to yourself if there is anyone who might want to join you who might not have anyone else to go out with, 与…共进晚餐, or study with - even if they already have other plans, 被人问总是好的! By being more inclusive, you not only make the other person feel better, but yourself too! Think about what it means to belong - how do we become conscious of embracing and developing diversity within ourselves? Watch From the Inside Out: Diversity, Inclusion, Belonging to create truly inclusive cultures.
玩得开心
腾出时间玩耍. 读到这 article to learn more about the importance of play in adulthood and think about how you could incorporate play into your weekly routine. Play is different for everyone. Think about the things that you enjoy doing that you don’t feel like you are being forced into. This might mean getting together with friends for board games or ultimate frisbee, doing a morning sudoku or crossword puzzle, or setting aside some ‘me time’ to craft or cook a new recipe. Try to make time for some small amount of play every day and challenge yourself to say ‘Yes!’ the next time someone invites you to join them for an activity. Whether it’s playing with someone or reading a book, 做音乐, 跳舞, 画, 烹饪, 做游戏, 或者整理你的衣橱, give yourself permission to have fun and play, 它充满了思想和灵魂!
