In part one of a two part Dave on the Mall we find out what Appalachian students are doing to take care of themselves.

Transcript

Dave: On this Dave on the Mall, the first of a two-part series, we ask Appalachian State University students, “What are you going to do this week to take care of yourself?”

Voice 1: This week to take care of myself I’m gonna try to run every day because that’s my stress reliever.

Voice 2: This week to take care of myself, I’m going to make myself relax and sleep enough.

Voice 3: I’m going to stay in when other people go out just to give myself “me time.”

Voice 4: This week to take care of myself I’m just gonna get a lot of rest.

Voice 5: I’m probably gonna go the gym for about an hour, hour and a half, run around on the treadmill, more than likely.

Voice 6: One thing I’m going to do this week to take care of myself is that I’m going to eat well.

Voice 7: One thing I’m going to do to take care of myself is get ahead on my paper.

Voice 8: I’m going to work so I can be financially stable.

Voice 9: This week to take care of myself I’m going to get to bed on time.

Voice 10: I’m going to sleep in extra long.

Voice 11: This week to take care of myself I’m going to go to the gym every day.

Voice 12: I’m going to go climbing to relieve stress.

Voice 13: I am going to get a full night of sleep because I haven’t been able to do that in a while.

Voice 14: I’m going to devote time in the Bible because that just really puts me at the most rest.

Voice 15: This week to take care of myself I’m going to shower daily, I’m going to do my hair, brush my teeth, all the essentials...yeah!

Voice 16: This week to take care of myself, I’m going to brush my teeth.

Voice 17: This week to take care of myself, I’m going to take my A.D.D. medicine.

Voice 18: This week I am going to drink lots of water.

Voice 19: To take care of myself I am going to buy a lot of ice cream and just sit down and watch Netflix.

Voice 20: To take care of myself, I am going to go to bed before midnight at least one day.

Voice 21: I’m working with the athletic trainer to get my leg back into active condition.

Voice 22: This week to take of myself, I’m going to bathe and eat three meals a day and brush my teeth.

Voice 23: I’m going to eat healthy and work out.

Voice 24: I’m going to sleep for at least eight hours every night.

Voice 25: This week to take care of myself I’m probably going to do more stuff for me. You know, take time to withdraw and recuperate, and then go do stuff because I have a lot to do and you don’t want to overdo stuff.

Voice 26: Well, today I’m going to go take a nap, so I think that’s one of the things that’s going to take care of myself.

Dave: So we’ve now discovered what some Appalachian State University students are going to do to take care of themselves; next time, we’ll find out what Appalachian State Students are going to do to help someone else. I’m Dave, and that was Dave on the Mall.
