Prolonged stress can have a negative impact on your physical and mental health. It is important to take everything one day at a time and to give yourself grace.
While the pace of life only seems to get faster by the day, make sure to prioritize yourself and set aside time to do things that make you happy and well, and do not be scared to ask for help when you are struggling.
Campus Public Safety would like to remind you of these safety tips to help keep you safe on and off campus:
After dark, it is recommended to walk with a trusted companion.
If you feel threatened, call 503-554-2090.
Stay in well-lit areas and avoid alleys, dark corners, and bushes whenever possible, and be aware of your surroundings.
Carry a whistle, and use it if you feel threatened.
Carry a fully charged cell phone.
Close exterior doors behind you as you enter your hall.
Do not allow anyone to enter who is not accompanied by another resident.
Escort your visitors to the exterior door when they leave.
Do not prop open exterior doors and close those that you find open.
If you live on the ground floor, keep your windows locked.
Be sure to lock your room door if you will be away, even for a minute.
