As classes start back up at SMCC so does the stress that comes along with it. There is a great option for students to release stress that is only a couple steps away off campus. Willard Beach is a wonderful place to relieve stress. The ocean and large bodies of water are proven to keep a person’s mind in the moment and at peace. Not only are there benefits to reducing stress by the water itself but also by the sun. Natural sunlight can reduce general anxiety which in turn reduces those pesky stress levels that many students may be facing!
