A good place to shed a few tears by AMBER FAIRBANKS associate arts & culture editor College life is stress ful. From rude students to grouchy instructors and the work load they give us. Sometimes you need to be alone and find a place to de- stress and maybe even cry, but where do you go to let it all out? Well, we have found places on Clackamas Community Colleges campus for you to take a deep breath when you need it. 1. Not everyone has a car, but if you have that luxury and need your own personal space to destress, jtxst roll up the windows and crank the music. Your car is the perfect familiar place to take a minute between classes. 2. For those of who don’t have cars, there are other places on campus to chill out, like over at Clairmont Hall. They have beautiful plants and greenhouses, and it’s a nice and quiet place to sit and relax and be Surrounded by pretty things. C enter has these w onderful little study holes along the back wall that are perfect for hiding from your life. With the built in mini walls no one can see you-perfect for a quick crying session or to put in your headphones and get lost in your music. Just don’t sob too loudly and disrupt people from studying. 4. Gregory Forum is like the campus ghost town. Hardly anyone is ever in there, which makes it a great place for the student who needs to be alone and take a breather. 5. We have the pleasure of going to school in rural Oregon City? where on cam pus we have random “foresty” areas, which are all great places to go and sit under a tree and hide from the rain, shielded by the thick pine needles. But if you do decide to cry, you can pretend ifs just the rain. We ran into Candice Stauffer, ASG vice presiden tial candidate, and asked her where she likes to go and de-stress. “The pretty little pond by the Environmental Learning Center? she said. “I like it there, ifs super peace ful and quiet, [and] calms me down* But why not ask the profes sionals? We dropped by the counseling department and asked Margie Gibler where she recommends going to calm down. “Do you know we have a walking a trail? It goes the perimeter of the cam pus and is about two miles long,” Gibler said. “It brings you through the horticiS- ture gardens, through the Environm ental Learning Center, and the woods there, and that’s redly pretty. That’s where I would go to de-stress.” International Week in full swing International Week has started at Clackamas Community College.
