Sabb Blab So, admittedly it’s not everyone’s favourite time of year. If you haven’t got an exam tomorrow, you’ve probably got a deadline to meet or a thesis to finish. Don’t worry though - your friendly Sabbatical Team have organised lots of lovely things to make the whole experience slightly more bearable. Look out for leaflets, goodies and events with the Feel Good label on them: we’ve got tips on how to make this time of year more manageable, events to relax and keep you healthy, plus some treats to keep you going! For a timetable of all the events (plus details of available support services), take a look at www. warwicksu.com/feelgood. Welfare Officer welfare@ warwicksu.com
However, it’s always nice to have something to look forward to this time of year! If you haven’t bought your Grad Ball or Summer Party ticket yet, head over to the SU website - it only takes a couple of minutes, and you’ll then know you have something to enjoy after your work is over. Good luck, and have a happy and healthy term! - CAT TURHAN

FEEL GOOD With exams, submission deadlines and revision all piling up, Term 3 can be an incredibly stressful time for students. Here at the SU, we want to make sure that you look after yourselves and get the very best out of your study and relaxation time – and that’s why we run a Feel Good campaign every year during the summer term. Full details of all our Feel Good Factors published thus far are now available to view on the SU website at www.warwicksu.com/feelgood - these are as follows: Good Mental Health Food, Drink and Sleep Exercise Exams and Revision Tips If you’re worried about what comes next, the Feel Good webpages also contain useful advice on Careers & Skills, together with the contact details for useful support services in the University, Students’ Union and local area. Don’t forget that we’re running a range of healthy options in our outlets throughout the term, from a Savouries Menu and Brain Food Smoothies in Curiositea to Vegetarian Week in Xananas and specials in The Bread Oven. In short, make sure you take care of yourself this term – and best of luck to all of you with assessments and exams!
