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:

https://ebook.yourcloudlibrary.com/library/nassaucommunitycollege/Featured

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:
