Some students attend classes in the day then have long shifts and find themselves only studying at night. Meanwhile, others may have more flexibility to study both in the morning and at night. Experiment with different days and times to study and see which works best for you!

Next, wellness and self-care aid in reducing stress. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention explains the importance of physical activity, as it helps, “...improve your brain health, help manage weight, reduce the risk of disease, strengthen bones and muscles, and improve your ability to do everyday activities.” Whether you decide to join a gym, engage in pilates, go on runs, practice yoga, or are part of a sports team, the physical benefits can strengthen your brain activity and allow you to approach your lectures or studying sessions with a fresh perspective.

While physical activity can act as a form of self-care, taking a day or two off to do nothing is also a form of selfcare! Engaging in any activity that can reduce your stress is something that should be prioritized to achieve better success with your courses and mental health.

Lastly, I will be the one to advise you to go live life! Yes, your grades, GPA, sports team, and assignments are important. But, college does not need to take over your whole life or identity.

Build friendships and create memories with those around you and with loved ones! Your assignments will still be there awaiting your return but, if you learn early on what works best for you and to manage your time, you will not feel guilty for choosing to go out or stay in and just have fun! Have a great year, Poets!

Undoubtedly, the college experience brings high stress as students learn to manage their school life, which is fueled by studying, classes almost daily, and heavy exams. Unfortunately, students as a result, are prone to developing mental health disorders. And if a student has already been pre-diagnosed with a mental health disorder, they may find themselves struggling even more.

The National Library of Medicine conducted research that surveyed college students and their levels of depression, anxiety, and stress. It was found that the frequency of depression among university students was 75 percent, 88.4 percent for anxiety, and 84.4 percent for stress. It is not surprising that these percentages are high given the struggles that college students endure trying to maintain their GPA, friendships, financial stability, and more.

Some causes of student stress include, “increased responsibilities, a lack of good time management, changes in eating and sleeping habits, and not taking enough breaks for self-care.” This makes sense especially for incoming freshmen as they transition from high school and embark on a new campus with new people. It is also noted that first-year students who leave their homes and reside on campus tend to experience “Feelings of depression, isolation, homesickness, and loneliness….

Research shows that as many as 75 percent of college freshmen reported feelings of loneliness their first two weeks of school.” Like a domino effect, “Loneliness can lead to depression, which can hinder a student’s chance to

Managing your time can help reduce stress while in college. excel in the classroom.”

There are several reasons why students must learn to manage their school, work, and personal life. It is relatively easier said than done but as I entered my first year at Whittier during COVID-19, I stayed awake to study and complete assignments until 3 A.M. due to poor time management and changes in my food and sleep schedule. I would prioritize my school work and felt I had no time to complete all that I needed and could not afford to have a life outside of school.

My mental health took a major toll as a result.

But, what if I told you that I am now on a path to graduating a semester early by putting my mental health first and then schoolwork second? See, after many trials and errors with learning and unlearning my priorities, I realized that mental health and self-care go a long way to achieving my greatest.

With much happiness, I am proud to say that I do not stay up past 1 A.M. to study; I eat meals that fuel me with energy instead of binge and stress eating.

I workout and practice yoga along with meditation, go enjoy a weekend with loved ones, and (when needed) I skip a class to rest my brain. I do this while managing coursework and my multiple jobs. It is all possible.

But, there are tips I use to help prioritize my mental health. First thing’s first, quality sleep is crucial for great performance when awake. Recent studies have shown that “adequate sleep is essential to feeling awake and alert, maintaining good health and working at peak performance…After two weeks of sleeping six hours or less a night, students feel as bad and perform as poorly as someone who has gone without sleep for 48 hours.” I can confirm this to be true. As I expressed earlier, I would stay awake until 3 A.M. to

courtesy of istock study and cram writing papers which affected my ability to remain aware and present during lectures, leading to poor memorization skills. The effects of poor sleep and memory are highlighted with new research which states, that “students getting adequate amounts of sleep performed better on memory and motor tasks than did students deprived of sleep.” It is recommended that students sleep for an average of seven to nine hours per night and the hours vary per person.

With longer hours of sleep comes the need to manage your time wisely. It is important to plan your day or week ahead of time depending on your top priorities, like spending more time on a paper or studying for an exam– versus spending time completing an assignment that is not due that week. It is also important to learn what time during the day you are most productive for studying and completing assignments.

New Cantina Brings Royalty to Uptown Alissa Portillo DEPUTY EDITOR OPINIONS EDITOR SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER Ne o n - c o l o r e d a r t , R e g g a e ton, and Banda music to sing along and dance to, and drinks, drinks, drinks! Oh, and Mexican and seafood dining dishes!

Already intrigued? You can find this wonderful ambiance and more at the King and Queen Cantina.

King and Queen Cantina is owned by Jorge Cueva who is commonly known as “Mr. Tempo”. Think of Cueva as the ultimate father of King and Queen Cantina. Cueva is an entrepreneur and restaurateur developing multiple King and Queen locations throughout the Los Angeles and San Diego areas, with more openings in the future. You might be wondering: why am I highlighting the restaurant now? Well, Mr. Tempo has opened a new location here in Whittier at the corner of Penn Street and Painter Avenue. Simply put, it is just at the corner on the next block!

On Friday, July 28th, Mr. Tempo and King and Queen Cantina posted on their Instagram the exciting announcement regarding the opening of their new Whittier location inviting people to, “...come try our mezcal, our tequila…we hope to see you guys all here.

The party’s gonna start! Mas chingón!” They posted a follow-up invitation on Saturday, July 29th, where a worker excitedly announces in Spanish

(which is translated to English), “Hey what’s up! We’re open!

Come to Whittier. Here you will find your boyfriend, girlfriend, margaritas, and everything you can think of! Come and enjoy!”

As you can tell King and Queen Cantina continue to highlight their drinks for a fun time. But if you are not 21 years old, you can still enjoy a night out with friends and visit the restaurant to enjoy their dining dishes! Their menu is a mix-

you can sit in a space that is full of neon colors, and loud Reggaeton and Banda music to sing and dance to! If you have visited any Kalaveras location you will notice a similar atmosphere that is enjoyable.

Now, if you are new to campus/ new to the city of Whittier, Penn Street has residency homes on one side and a police station on the other side of Painter Avenue. Returning students are aware of how awful parking is on Penn Street, which results

busy nights this raises the question as to whether people who seek to visit the restaurant will attempt to park on campus in the Campus Inn (CI) Parking Lot which is located, off the corner of Earlham Drive and Painter Avenue. The CI Parking lot is strictly used for student and faculty parking, yet it is the most accessible for people to use at night to park sneakily if they wish to visit the restaurant.

Jose Padilla, the Director

The new restaurant offers a variety of food and drink options.

ment management communicates this to their customers, and we are able to have a line of communication similar to the California Grill.” The California Grill is a modern Californian restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

The Grill is located on the corner of Painter Avenue and Philadelphia Street which is across the street from the Ruth B. Shannon Center for Performing Arts on campus.

Padilla states that they have “not observed any spillover from the establishment”, and have “ reached out to the management and are awaiting a response.”

For now, we can just hope that Campus Safety and the College will put further measurements needed should they not receive a response back from King and Queen Cantina.

If you should witness a driver park in the CI Lot and walk towards the restaurant inform Campus Safety through their main line, 562.907.4211. With this restaurant also comes peop l e d r i n k i n g . Re m e m b e r t o drive safely when returning back to your dorms and if you know you will be drinking do not drink and drive. Furthermore, if you feel unsafe, contact Campus Safety’s emergency line at 562.907.4911.

Nevertheless, you can experience nights you will always remember (or if you drink too much you might just forget!)

Enjoy your days or nights with lively music, good food, and great drinks! Like they say at the Cantina, Mas Chingón!

Recommendations Around Uptown Sage Amdahl MANAGING EDITOR Finding good, affordable food within reasonable proximity to campus is the tantalizing dream of incoming college students everywhere. If Yelp doesn’t prove helpful, look no further because I’ll give you the complete guide to restaurants in Uptown Whittier fitting for a hungry Poet, all within a 15 minute walking distance from campus. Let’s go eat!

Mimo’s Cafe Balling on a budget? Mimo’s Cafe on Greenleaf Avenue is the perfect cheap, fast, and filling place. They have a variety of food, including stereotypical American breakfasts, sandwiches, Mexican cuisine, burgers, and coffee. They are open from 8 A.M. to 7 P.M. everyday., And don’t forget to bring your student ID for a Poet discount!

Crepes and Grapes

Hungover and hungry? Crepes and Grapes can feed you the most incredible breakfast and lunch for under 20 dollars.

With a Parisian theme, Crepes and Grapes is the perfect brunch spot for anyone craving a delicious, filling meal. I suggest getting their Eggs Florentine and the Fig and Brie Sandwich, both of which have been my go-to Sunday morning eats for the past year. It’s a popular brunch spot, so get there early, because the wait can get long by noon, and they close at 3 P.M.!

(add one pump of vanilla for some extra flavor) and the Cajeta Croissant. Delicious!

La Monarca

Chillin’

Thirsty and tired? La Monarca has the cheapest lattes in Uptown, with “the sweet flavor of Mexico” mixed in.

Don’t miss out on their delicious pastries, made fresh every day. As a non-dairy milk lover, I love any business that keeps the alternative milk price small, and La Monarca is the only coffee shop in Uptown with only a 50 cent upcharge. Honorable mentions are the Oatchata Cold Brew

Bark Coffee

Of course, we can’t forget the other local coffee shops located in Uptown. Bark Coffee is the closest to Whittier College campus, with adorable coffee cups and a beautiful, peaceful interior. Feel free to mosy on in with your laptop, wallet, and headphones to crank out some school work while enjoying a fresh cup of coffee.

Ta c o s N Mi c h e s

terior, The Rusty Monk provides excellent atmosphere and food. Honorable mention goes out to their fries and Circling back to food, the Monk Grilled Cheese. options are endless, so we’ll condense them a bit. Tacos N Miches is arguably the best Mexican joint in Uptown, If you’re 21 years or older, or with great prices and even simply a big fan of games and better food. Their carne asada soda, then Guildhall is for fries never miss, and neither you. With a plethora of board do their burritos. games, bar food, and alcoholic beverages, Guildhall is a great spot to nerd out with your friends.

Guildhall

La Sexy Michelada

However, if you’re looking for a late night meal, La Sexy Michelada is going to be your go-to. Open until 1 A.M. Friday and Saturday and 12 A.M. Sunday through Thursday, La Sexy Michelada is a bit pricier but great for satisfying undeniable cravings.

While we’re on the topic of beverages, the most popular bubble tea spot in Uptown Whittier is none other than the cult favorite Chillin’.

With an assortment of milk teas, smoothies, sweets, and accessories, Chillin’ has successfully made themselves the go-to place for a sugary fix.

Open from noon to 10 P.M. If you’re searching for gaseveryday, Chillin’ is the per- tropub food, look no further than The Rusty Monk. With fect spot for some boba. a “distressed industrial” in-

The Rusty Monk

Winchells Finally, my last mention is the ultimate drunk-collegekid spot, Winchells. Open 24/7, Winchells has a variety of pastries like donuts, croissants, and muffins, as well as savory foods like sandwiches, bagel breakfasts, and wraps.

It is the ultimate 3 A.M. food spot.

There are tons of great food options around Uptown Whittier for every college student!

Happy eating!
