The McMaster Students Union
PRESIDENT’S PAGE
Now it’s time for the test. Ask yourself or the person next to you: how do
you feel? This is a question that I used
to brush off fairly readily, especially in
my first year of university. Reality kicks
in quickly post-Welcome Week,
and at times when selfcare and an academic
focus are arguably
most important, it
is very easy to slip
into a lifestyle and
mindset that coinHOW
cides with exactly
the opposite. Late
nights, not so nutritious diets, you know
the drill.
Amongst all of
the hustle and bustle,
it’s important to stay
grounded. Look after yourself, and look
after each other. Don’t forget that some
of your most valuable resources are the
people around you. The McMaster Students Union (MSU) is also here to help!
If you need a break from studying,
or you are looking to immerse yourself
in a community of like-minded individuals, our services offer a variety of different events and programs to help you
unwind during the year. Check out our
Calendar and Services pages online at
msumcmaster.ca, or visit our new Clubs’
portal msumcmaster.ca/clubza to find a
club that interests you.
The Student Health Education Centre (SHEC) is a peer-run health promotion, education, and referral service located on the second floor of the Student
Centre. SHEC offers confidential peer support
and has a wealth of
resources to help
you find the
answers you’re
looking for.

The Queer Students Community
Centre (QSCC) (located on the second
floor of the Student Centre, around the
corner from Clubspace) provides programming and resources to the LGBTQ
community and its allies. Whether
you’re looking for some support during
a hard time, or you want to make some
new friends, drop by anytime

HEY!
FEEL?
Let’s do a quick test. A self-assessment, if you will. It only takes a moment, and it can be done with friends.
It should be compulsory.
To set the stage for this test, consider that we are now almost one month
into the first term of the school year. As
days become shorter, the demand for
longer hours of work is growing. Consider all that you have going on in your
life: midterms, assignments, extra-curricular activities, personal relationships,
the list goes on.
FINE.
