The students’ point of view about NIRSA and collegiate recreation from the NIRSA Student Leader.
Pictures of health
Everyone is different and what works for one person will not work for another. That is inclusive wellbeing.
Stirring string
With semesters coming to a close many of us find ourselves returning home or—in some cases—never having left. It is December and we are sitting in a pile of string.
Knowing me knowing you
Let’s sit down and study the intricate ways our minds make connection from the weight of our experiences, the conditioning of our environments, and the noises we have heard, absorbed, and rebounded.
Taking care of your mind allows you to take care of the world
Summer is meant for swimming—even if you dislike the water or don’t know how to swim. Like a lot of people, my own mind is a place where I’ve been swimming a lot lately.
Out the window
I’m half white and half Latinx; looking a certain way and acting a certain way has always kept me halfway “in the window” and halfway out. Our individual experience shapes our perspectives in these conversations.
Sailing into changing tides
We have overcome. We, the humans of NIRSA, have caught each other when the world turned upside down.
Eight seconds or less
So I’m curious. Can you explain what you do, what you love, and your biggest passion in life in eight seconds or less? Seems difficult, right? Try it for yourself.
Let’s begin connecting
As your life may be beginning to change, remember that doors never truly close. We have the ability to make choices—such as maintaining communication with our friends and taking time to reflect on our memories.
The journey of adjourning
In the final month of NIRSA leadership with the Student Leadership Team and the Member Network, I find myself nearing a lot of goodbyes as I am sure most of you are as well.
Creating our own opportunities
This issue of NIRSA Student Leader’s Notes is the final installment of the anthology of student leadership lessons that I began back in July.
