The McMaster Students Union
PRESIDENT’S PAGE Now it’s time for the test. Ask yourself or the person next to you: how do you feel? This is a question that I used to brush off fairly readily, especially in my first year of university. Reality kicks in quickly post-Welcome Week, and at times when selfcare and an academic focus are arguably most important, it is very easy to slip into a lifestyle and mindset that coinHOW cides with exactly the opposite. Late nights, not so nutritious diets, you know the drill. Amongst all of the hustle and bustle, it’s important to stay grounded. Look after yourself, and look after each other. Don’t forget that some of your most valuable resources are the people around you. The McMaster Students Union (MSU) is also here to help! If you need a break from studying, or you are looking to immerse yourself in a community of like-minded individuals, our services offer a variety of different events and programs to help you unwind during the year. Check out our Calendar and Services pages online at msumcmaster.ca, or visit our new Clubs’ portal msumcmaster.ca/clubza to find a
club that interests you. The Student Health Education Centre (SHEC) is a peer-run health promotion, education, and referral service located on the second floor of the Student Centre. SHEC offers confidential peer support and has a wealth of resources to help you find the answers you’re looking for. Feeling DO YOU over-
Don’t forget that some of your most valuable resources are the people around you...
The Queer Students Community Centre (QSCC) (located on the second floor of the Student Centre, around the corner from Clubspace) provides programming and resources to the LGBTQ community and its allies.

HEY! FEEL?
Let’s do a quick test. A self-assessment, if you will. It only takes a moment, and it can be done with friends. It should be compulsory. To set the stage for this test, consider that we are now almost one month into the first term of the school year. As days become shorter, the demand for longer hours of work is growing. Consider all that you have going on in your life: midterms, assignments, extra-curricular activities, personal relationships, the list goes on.
FINE.
