📵 **SCROLL LESS. LIVE MORE. 💚**
Ever feel like you’re on campus… but your mind is still somewhere in the scroll?
This **Mental Health Week, October 4–7**, we’re challenging the AUC community to put down the phone, look up, and reconnect—with ourselves, with each other, and with the world beyond the screen.
Four days. Four different ways to unplug, reflect, create, and reconnect:
🪞 **Sunday, Oct. 4 | The Comparison Trap**
Break free from social media comparison, perfectionism, and the pressure to measure your life against someone else’s highlight reel.
💬 **Monday, Oct. 5 | Offline and Honest with Yosra El Lozy ’07**
A candid conversation about online noise, mental health, and what it really means to disconnect and reconnect.
🎨 **Tuesday, Oct. 6 | Unscroll & Create**
Put the phone away and pick up something real. Clay, painting, karaoke, free food, good conversations, and a cozy screen-free night to recharge.
📱 **Wednesday, Oct. 7 | Digital Wellness**
Take back control of your digital life with practical strategies for healthier tech habits, better focus, less digital overload, and stronger real-life connections.
💚 **And don’t forget to WEAR GREEN throughout Mental Health Week** in recognition of World Mental Health Day!
📍 Stop by the **Center for Student Wellbeing booth at Bartlett Plaza during assembly hour** all week *(except Tuesday)* for interactive mental health activities and exciting giveaways.
Your notifications can wait.
**Real life is happening now.**
