Finals cause no health concerns to students

With the end of the semester coming up, students don't want to miss classes and of course, their finals.

A lot of students aren't changing their health habits to make sure they stay healthy when the deadline comes.

Lisa Woods, illustration major, said, "I don't think about [my health]."

Some are paying a little more attention to their health behavior. "I sleep more and I eat a lot," said Connie Lee, Japanese major.

Others do change their health habits, but for the entire semester, not just for finals week. "I [exercise more] before school starts so I feel energized [throughout the semester]," said David Sanchez, biology major.

Most students should get by with only a couple weeks of school left. But without an extra precaution, an untimely flu will make the end of the semester an unpleasant one.

CSULB hosts the Wellness Week

Last week was Wellness Week at CSULB.

Wellness Week included a Donald P. Lauda lecture on Tuesday, a Friendship Walk on Wednesday, and exercise demonstrations.

All of these events were free to the public but space was limited to some events like the Lauda lecture, a series of presentations from health experts.

It was sponsored by the College of Health and Human Services.

Signs were posted around campus advertising this.

However, signs haven't made an impression on all students.

Connie Lee, Japanese major, said, "I didn't notice the signs." The signs had bold messages on one side to catch people's attention like "Be alert, paying attention is free."
