Self-care during Spring Break

March 16, 2026

Dear COE Community,

Spring break is a time to relax, renew, and reflect on the great work that we engage in as a college. If you are looking for ways to nurture yourself through self-care this week, even if you are one of us who still must do some work, here are “101 ways ultimate ways to chill out and reduce stress.” https://www.ditchthelabel.org/101-ultimate-ways-chill-reduce-stress/.

Also, consider the following activities and day trips in the Los Angeles area as one way to enjoy self-care-but be sure to take water because it’s going to be a hot week!
