The fun and thrill of college life is often accompanied by anxiety and frustration. It could be a long tiring day of studies, a fight with the loved ones, or moments of personal anguish, stress comes from all directions. A little time spent in relaxation helps a lot to keep our mind fresh and body healthy.
Different people have different ways of relaxing. Some listen to music, some sit in front of their laptops and chat with friends whereas some take a walk.
The campus of San Diego State University is famous for its scenic beauty. There are a lot of places around the campus where one can actually go and relax. I have tried to compile for you a list of places around the campus where you can go and relax.
Fish and Turtle Pond, Scripps Cottage
The fish and turtle pond is located at a walking distance from the Love library. With its beautiful landscape and lively fish pond, this place serves as a perfect relaxing spot. If you walk down to the brim of the pond you can see the turtles and fishes protruding their hungry mouths out of water for food. Very often you will find students studying here under the shade of the trees or simply relaxing while enjoying the beauty of Mother Nature. When you’re around the place, walk down the grassy hillside and take a seat in the lap of nature.
Mediterranean garden, Life Sciences Building
The Mediterranean garden is famous for its beautiful fountain and its varied species of plants. By the side of the fountain, there are benches wherein you can sit and relax while enjoying the water from the fountain fuse with the colors of the flowers. The small lawns encircled by the Mediterranean flora serve as a meeting place for students indulging in their casual meetings or fun filled adventures.
Freeway View, School of Art, Design & Art History
This place is famous for its cultural heritage. The two art galleries located in the building feature contemporary regional as well as international artists. If you walk straight through the doorway, you can actually see the freeway passing around SDSU. The hustle and bustle of the city life is evident from the traffic on the freeway. The view is too serene at night time when the darkness is invaded by the headlights of the cars making their way home, and the tiny lights coming from the houses located on the opposite hillside.
Starbucks, Aztec Center
The smell of a freshly brewed coffee is enough to fill even the most dead-beat minds with energy. Coffee for sure acts a natural laxative and that’s why after a long tiring day, people usually yearn for a cup of coffee. With it varied collection of beverages and the soothing ambience, Starbucks is a good place to hangout. Seen here are students talking over a cup of coffee, some studying over while others simply sitting back and enjoying the serenity of the moment.
Magnolia tree, Hardy Tower
While walking from the Hepner Hall towards the Hardy Tower one finds the huge Magnolia tree spreading out its branches, bathing itself in the sun and shading the ones under it. Students usually come here when they are bored of studying indoors or want a time off from studies.
