Mental/Relaxation Day Off


Mental/Relaxation Day Off
The Issue
The reason why I'm making this petition is because us college students at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln are under a lot of stress. We're go to sleep stressing about assignments, wake up stressing about homework and so much more. Also with this going on, we're trying to keep our stuff together during a global pandemic, so some of us sit hours a day on a laptop watching zoom lectures and other online materials. It's a lot of stress that us young adults have to go through during these uncertain times as we still are trying to follow our dreams. I'm proposing that the University of Nebraska-Lincoln give us students at least one mental health/relaxation day where us UNL students don't have to do nothing but just exist for a day. Did you know 1 in 6 college student suffers from depression, anxiety just from their school work? Not saying just one day can solve this issue- but it sure can help students find ways to relax during these times This change will impact our community because it will allow students to have a day off to just relax and not have to mentally stress about school work for 24 hours. Thank you UNL students for taking the time to read this, and hopefully we can get some changes done!!!
