¿Quién dejó salir a los perros? Pues, nosotros… y fue increíble.

Desliza para ver el resumen del evento y dinos, ¿quién pasea a quién aquí?🐾 #MSCS #TerapiaConMascotas

Entonces, la semana pasada nos aparecimos en la Feria de Recursos de Salud Mental de la @UHouston, ¿y adivinen qué? Encontramos a estudiantes estresados por los exámenes finales (¡sorprendente, ¿verdad?😜). Nos reímos, compartimos algunos consejos, y tal vez salvamos unos cuantos cerebros de un colapso total 💚 🧠 A todos los Coogs que están enfrentando los exámenes finales y a los que están a punto de graduarse: ¡ustedes pueden hacerlo! Solo recuerden, la salud mental es clave para sobresalir en esos exámenes... y en la vida. #MSCS

So, last week crashed the @UHouston Community Mental Health Resource Fair and guess what? We found students stressing over finals (shocking, right?😜). We had some laughs, shared some tips, and maybe saved a few brains from total meltdown💚 🧠 To all the Coogs going through finals and those about to graduate - you've got this! Just remember, mental health is key to acing those exams...and life. #HMHC
