FINDING A CAMPUS ZEN PLACE

BY CHRISTINA GOODMAN Photo Editor

Stress comes with being a college student, particularly with the pressure of getting assignments in on time, not understanding assignments, or not getting the grade you wanted on an assignment or in a class. in the heart of campus also offers a soothing place where you can sit and look at the fish in the water. While others pass by you don’t notice how busy the quad is and it make it feel as if you’re somewhere else.

It’s predictable that you might need a “woosah” moment to yourself.

But where on campus can you find a moment of peace and get yourself together?

Delta College has a few quiet places on campus to take a mental break that busy students don’t seem to notice, or pass by without considering the option to sit and have a second of clarity.

The Demonstration Garden on the North side of Burke Bradley Drive also has an area with chairs and tables where visitors can sit and eat, do homework or listen to your music in peace. You can also look at all the plants and veggies that are growing in that area. The location is sometimes so quiet it doesn’t feel like you’re on campus.

“It’s very pretty and serene, and very private and allows you to take a moment and be with nature,” said Dr. Heather Maloy of the spot.

Inside Danner Hall is “the box.” It’s located in the middle of Danner Hall, but it’s actually an outdoor space. I found that it’s peaceful and it cancels out the sound of everyone, an oasis in the middle of the chaos of campus.
