As student trustee, Jones said that he would like to “ensure the student body is represented before the Board” and the key part in doing so is by “keeping students updated on changes at the NSCS level.” He hopes to bring ideas about policy to students during his term. “I hope to improve student understanding about what I can do for them by setting up a more open trustee o ce,” he said. “Doing so will make it easier for students to reach out with questions or concerns which may be brought to the Board or a college o cial’s attention. On the policy side of things, I anticipate bringing some ideas to students over the next weeks and months.”
Jones, from page 1
“I applied to be student trustee because I wanted to promote the voice of students to those making important policy decisions that impact them,” Jones said. “Being able to serve CSC students on the NSCS Board of Trustees is a privilege, and I look forward to working with the Board to improve the college experience for students.

As You Said It!
It’s never too early to take a break s you start classes for this semester there are two important things to re member: First, pay attention and try your best on every assignment and test be cause every grade adds up. Secondly, you’re never too old to take a nap, or color or what ever you like to do to relax. You are probably feeling like you can han dle pretty much anything your classes are asking of you. Hold on to that feeling it’s a great mindset. If you do nothing but home work, and worrying about homework, you won’t feel great about your classes, and you’ll probably lose that feeling. I know the idea you have to work super hard and just keep your head down is pop ular. Working with your head down not bothering to take a break to look up and see anything other than your work. If you don’t know any better you might do just that. I’m not saying it won’t bring you some success. It might bring you a lot of success at first, but inevitably you’ll hit a wall. As the semester goes on, you’ll get tired and more stressed and maybe a little burnt out with all your classes will ask of you. You’ll start getting frustrated for not having the energy to study. You might become physically ex hausted even though you feel like you haven’t done anything worth beingBeingtired.burnt out is something often mentioned close to finals week. By then it’s too late, you can color as many pages as you wantone day of coloring won’t fix a whole semester of abusing your brain. You have to remember to take care of yourself more than once a semester. Take weekends or even an hour every other day to do something you enjoy. These little breaks will keep you from a mental break down once finals week starts. College is about preparing yourself for your future and learning the skills and in formation necessary to succeed. Good study skills and knowing when to take a break and breathe are essential. You can’t study or work effectively if you’re burnt out so it’s important to know your limits. It’s sometimes hard to accept that you can’t just keep going forever with out a break, but the sooner you get past that, the sooner you can reach your goals. Bad habits die hard, so start forming good ones now. It’ll help you get through college and even tually help you enjoy your future job without burning out. Out of thousands of participating nurses, 95% said they felt burnt out within the last three years of their job according to a study done by Nursing CE Central. And it’s been a long-known fact that teachers have been burning out Unfortunately,quickly.systemic change to curb burn out won’t happen soon. Until those changes happen, it’s up to us to learn how to take care of ourselves. Take a breath, remind yourself of your possibly long-forgotten hobbies and take a break. It’s never too late or too early to learn to take care of yourself.

We asked: What do you think about Quizlet becoming a partially paid platform?

CSC has multiple school counselors that can help you with your mental health, even if you just need one meeting to rant or if you want to set up recurring meetings.Theschool nurse can help if you need confirmation that you are sick for teachers and can help you get appointments at the hos pital if need be. When it comes to time man agement there are a lot of helpful apps or planners that can help you. One of the easiest ways to figure out what works for you is to tryYouit.can ask people in your classes or that you live near on what works for them. Personally I like planners the best but there are a couple apps that I like to use too.Remember the Milk, is an app that helps you manage your time and keep track of assignments and upcoming tests. Forest is a good app for people that like to procrastinate and that have a hard time staying on track.

“I probably won’t find myself doing a coast-tocoast trip for a while,” Demeranville said. “That’s be cause I would like to ride from Canada to Mexico. There are different trips in store for me.”
The journey began not long after the end of the Spring 2022 semester and ended in late July.
He advises anyone attempting a similar trip to “just do “Tidingit”. and embracing what happens is part of the adventure, and I love a good adventure,” Demeran ville said.

Demeranville is planning on doing similar trips in the coming years.
“I tried my best to prepare, but nothing I did was enough,” Demeranville said. “I tried a ride and work out schedule, that fell through. The first week is what really prepared me for the rest of the trip.”
After completing an over 3,000-mile cross-coun try bike trip, CSC student Jace Demeranville, 21, senior of Scottsbluff and faculty, Mary Clai Jones, associate professor, Kurt Kinbacher, professor and Marcus Jones, assistant professor returned back to Chadron to start the Fall semester.
The “Speed Goats,” as they referred to themselves, spent the Spring 2022 semester planning the trek.
The group traveled from Chadron to Washington D.C., took a train from D.C. to Seattle, then biked from Seattle back to Chadron.

“If I was to change anything, it’d probably be add ing more stops,” Demeranville said. “Not to rest, but to just see stuff. I could have stayed in Seattle forever; Iowa City probably deserved a day.

The CSC volleyball team has set their sights on making it to the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC) tournament, this season, despite being listed 14th in the RMAC preseason polls.
“As a team, this season we have a goal to solidify a competitive spot in the RMAC,” Micaiah Vrbka, Senior of Brainard said. “Personally, I believe this goal is very achievable. We have a lot of very talented athletes that are both new to the program and returning that are dedicated to the team and its success.”
The group is led by Team Captain Rylee Greiman, junior of Windsor, Colorado.“Thisteam is capable of a lot of amazing things,” Greiman said. “But the first step to achieving them is believing in ourselves. I hope that we continue to build our confidence and hold ourselves to high standards.”
