IMLeagues<\/a> made it easy to find a schedule that fit. The Tootell Aquatic Center was right there too, same pool, same early morning quiet, same feeling of starting the day with something that had nothing to do with schoolwork. That\u2019s what I kept coming to, Campus Rec gave me something that was just mine, completely separate from due dates, and exams. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThat\u2019s what gets you through the semester. Not the perfect routine, just something consistent that you actually look forward to. For me it was a Tuesday evening fitness class that I went to because it became a part of my friends and I\u2019s routine, and we enjoyed it. It gave the week a shape whenever I felt like everything was moving too fast. Spring semester I finally tried the Sailing Center, something I\u2019d been putting off for awhile. Turns out getting on the Narragansett Bay in the middle of a hectic week is one of the best decisions I made. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When school gets heavy, the outdoor fields, tennis courts, and bike path are right here on campus. Whenever I feel myself starting to become overwhelmed, I take a walk on the bike path. I look at the cows, and I stop thinking about whatever I was overthinking, and something about it resets me. It is a leisure walk, but it helps and most of the time that\u2019s enough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Campus Rec has a way of fitting into your semester without taking it over. It can be a morning swim before class, a group fitness class with a friend, an afternoon on the tennis courts, or a walk on the bike path when you need a change. A new semester is a lot of things at once, new classes, new people, a new rhythm to figure out. Campus Rec is a pretty good place to find yours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a specific feeling that comes with moving back to campus in the fall, especially if this is your first year. Your room still feels bare waiting for photos and string lights, a desk that doesn\u2019t know your routine yet, and a space that\u2019s about to become yours. Somehow it\u2019s already the second week, and […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4739,"featured_media":6758,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[50],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6756","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-50"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/inside-rec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6756","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/inside-rec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/inside-rec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/inside-rec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4739"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/inside-rec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6756"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/inside-rec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6756\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6759,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/inside-rec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6756\/revisions\/6759"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/inside-rec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6758"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/inside-rec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6756"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/inside-rec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6756"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/inside-rec\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6756"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
