College Bound Brief #78**
Oftentimes, the news about parties on college campuses could make a parent cringe, hyperventilate, or simply choose to look away. Yet every once in a while our children surprise us. 🙂 And the latest trend of wellness daytime parties (“darties”) on college campuses currently going viral on TikTok could give you some hope for the future.
The scary parts of parties and Greek life on campus (see recent stories from Penn State and Cornell) continue to dominate the news. So let’s take this opportunity to highlight something positive. Students at various college campuses have turned the fun of the party into a chance to do something positive for their mind and body.
And with all of the stress of college, social media and the world, this can only help as students opt to practice yoga, take part in group exercise classes, cold plunge, head to the sauna, and pound shots of energy drinks.
