Take some time to feed your soul during these busy days.

This can be a very hectic, stressful time of the semester. In addition to the excellent Mindfullness strategies listed on this Blog, find a little time, here and there, to refresh your soul by dipping into an interesting book, listening to some music, or even visiting a museum or park.

The library has an excellent eBook collection called cloudLibrary. You can browse novels or search for books on a certain topic here:

To check out a title, simply enter your "N" number.

The library also offers streaming videos (feature films and documentaries) at this link:

Consider joining your local public library. With a library card (simple application process), you can access free admission passes to Long Island and City museums.. Ask your local library about Museum Passes. Queens and Brooklyn libraries have what are called Culture Passes to many museums.

Also, many museums have a discounted admission fee for students (just bring your NCC ID with you).

Like to listen to music when cramming? Check out the Song Exploder podcast, where musicians discuss the backstory to their songs:

Connecting to the NCC Community

Club meetings, sporting events, guest speakers, parties, workshops, concerts, trips, films, plays, poetry readings: interesting things take place almost every week at Nassau.

But given the size of this campus (we're really a little city in many ways), how can you get a handle on all that's happening?  And how can you keep up on academic news--registration dates, scholarship deadlines, new college policies, etc. etc.--that you absolutely need to know about? 

Here are some ideas:

• Read your College email.  Like pretty much the rest of the planet, Nassau does a ton of business online these days.  To stay in the loop, check your NCC email at least every other day. 

• Read the NCC homepage (www.ncc.edu).  It's the place to go to learn about "here and now" events--speakers, theatre productions, scholarships, and other happenings.  Give the homepage a weekly once over to see what's going on.

• Read the NCC Facebook page (www.Facebook.com/nassaucommunitycollege). Want to catch up on what's trending on campus (and also find out what students are saying)?  Facebook's the place.

• Follow NCC's First-Year Experience on Twitter (www.Twitter.com/fye_nassaucc).  Daily tweets, many with links to other NCC pages (and interesting articles), will help you stay up on campus events and other NCC news.  Be a Twitter/FYE follower!

• Read the Vignette.  NCC's student newspaper (see page 2--Happenings) is information central for news about campus parties, concerts, club meetings, intramural sports, off-campus trips, film fests, and other fun stuff.  Look for the Vignette in newsstands around campus.

Feeling more connected already?  Of course.  But even so, don't stop reading this blog!  You'll get timely information about NCC, advice about college, and neat ideas to kick around as you go through your semester.  You can even respond to posts and tell us what's on your mind.  

Don't be a stranger . . .
