Is there a more stressful time for college students than
finals week? Students cope in different ways. Some literally sleeping in the
library for days on end, so they don’t lose their coveted spot. Some sleep in
their bed all day, trying to ignore the reality that finals are approaching.
Some color-code their schedules, budgeting out every hour of the day to
maximize studying potential.
The fact is that finals are stressful for everyone. So consider
having your club bring a little bit of ‘sunshine’ to people during this
stressful time. Building a culture of life means building a culture of love. So
this a great opportunity to show a love of life during a hectic time! Create “Sunshine Kits” that will brighten the recipient’s
day, even if just for a little bit.
Get a bright colored bag and put in whatever you want! Candy
is always appreciated by college students, as is an extra pen or pencil. Think
about putting in small snacks, like peanut butter cookies. We included a prayer
for finals inside as well. Then tie it all together with some ribbon and a
message from your club! Then go hand them out in a high traffic area: I suggest
the library. Then all you need to do is watch the smiles appear on stressed
students’ faces. Now, go spread some sunshine! :)
