In light of some end-of-semester pressures, UH Wellness shares ways to combat stress for many students who are experiencing burnout.

Assistant director of wellness programs Brittani Clark shared that the term “burnout” is used to describe constant workplace stress not managed well. But, t doesn’t apply to other experiences in life, according to the World Health Organization. 

“It is possible for students to feel burnout from their job due to being overwhelmed, stressed or anxious in their personal and academic lives and vice versa,” Clark said. “Burnout is characterized by feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion, increased mental distance from one’s job, negative feelings towards one’s job and feeling a lack of accomplishment at work.”

Towards the end of the semester, students may feel exhausted due to several pressures such as the desire to perform well academically, high expectations and other obligations that can overwhelm them, Clark said.

Students feeling stressed and overwhelmed can face a variety of symptoms including sleeping too much or not enough, trouble concentrating, lack of motivation, lowered immune functions, restlessness and irritability. 

“As a college student, it’s hard to prioritize school with the stress of having to pay for tuition and bills, so therefore, I have to put in more hours at work,” said pre-business junior Kritika Manik. “Finding a balance is hard. but I think setting aside specific days and times for schoolwork is helpful.”

In order to combat the feeling of burnout during the semester, Clark goes on to share tips that can be included in a student’s routine. 

“It’s important for students to take care of themselves before the stress and exhaustion set it,” Clark said. “Be sure to get at least seven hours of sleep every night, eat well balanced and colorful meals, use a planner to stay on top of tests and due dates, put self-care time on the calendar, get regular physical activity even if that just means speed walking between classes, reach out for help when you need it and take time to really enjoy our beautiful campus.”

Aside from adjusting to a routine, some students believe that on-campus opportunities can help combat stress and find a manageable school and work balance. 

“To me, burnout is when students are eagerly waiting for a change of pace from the semester,” said English senior Gerardo Vasquez. “Solutions I can imagine include things such as more on-campus employment opportunities, or introduction of mini-semesters throughout the spring and fall semesters.” 

The UH Wellness Program encourages students to take advantage of the resources on campus such as CAPS or attend stress-free finals events to combat academic pressures. 

“I think all students should remember that we’ve all been through a large-scale, shared trauma,” Clark said. “It’s so important, now more than ever, to invest in your health and well-being, practice self-care even when it isn’t easy and give yourself and those around you grace.”

UH baseball made a statement over the weekend at Schroeder Park, taking two out of three against Tulane, who entered the weekend atop the American Athletic Conference standings, to improve to 23-13 overall and 5-4 in conference play.

Taking the series against the conference’s top team is a huge step towards the Cougars’ goal of winning the AAC crown in the eyes of UH baseball head coach Todd Whitting.

“It puts a right in the mix to win the conference championship, which is obviously the goal,” Whitting said. “I thought our kids played really really well all weekend.”

Thursday

The Cougars opened up the weekend with a 6-3 victory over Tulane.

The UH bats got to Green Wave ace Grant Siegel, who entered the night with at 6-0 with a 1.29 ERA over 42 innings pitched.

After opening the scoring on a double steal in the bottom of the first, UH put up a crooked number in the second to take a 4-1 lead.

With a runner on third, sophomore left fielder Samuel Benjamin doubled down the right field line to drive in one. A few batters later, junior DH Brandon Uhse stepped up to the plate with runners on second and third and delivered a single up the middle to drive in both Cougars.

Uhse added to his big night in the fifth, launching an 0-2 pitch over the left field wall for his sixth home run of the season. UH plated one more run in the inning, extending the lead to 6-2.

Junior Jaycob Deese got the start on the bump for the Cougars and tossed seven innings, allowing two runs to earn his third victory of the year.

The Cougars nearly doubled Siegel’s earned run total, putting five earned runs on the 6-foot-1-inch right-hander who had only allowed six all season entering Thursday night.

Friday

Uhse stayed red hot at the plate with two more home runs on Friday night but it was not enough to overcome 11 Green Wave runs, as Tulane evened the series with an 11-10 victory.

Down 2-1 in the third, Uhse launched his first long ball of the night, a two-run shot to left, to put the Cougars in front.

Tulane scored two runs to retake the lead but once again Uhse had an answer for the Cougars, going yard for the second time with a solo shot to left to even things up.

Junior shortstop Ian McMillan hit a two-run home run of his own in the sixth followed by an RBI single from sophomore right fielder Alex Lopez to put UH up 7-4.

Nathan Medrano, a 6-foot junior right-hander, entered in relief in the seventh and struggled mightily. The Green Wave bats got to Medrano, putting three runs on the board in both the seventh and eighth innings highlighted by back-to-back home runs from Brady Hebert and Ethan Groff to give Tulane a 10-7 lead.

The Cougars weren’t done yet, scoring three runs of their own in the bottom half of the eighth on a wild pitch followed by a two-run single from sophomore catcher Anthony Tulimero.

UH closer Ben Sears came out of the bullpen to pitch the ninth and gave up a leadoff double. While the 6-foot-5-inch junior right-hander did not allow another hit in the frame, the leadoff double ended up haunting him as Tulane was able to drive in what proved to be the winning run on a sacrifice fly to left after the runner advanced to third on a ground out the at-bat before.

Tulane’s Zach Devito closed the door, pitching a 1-2-3 bottom of the ninth with two strikeouts to even up the series.

Sears was charged with his first loss of the year.

Saturday

UH used a nine run fifth inning, all that came with two outs, to take Saturday’s rubber match 10-9 to secure the series victory.

Groff started the game off with a bang for the Green Wave, launching a no-doubt leadoff home run to left. A few batters later, Tulane’s Brady Marget hit a two-run bomb of his own to put the Green Wave up 3-0 after the first half inning.

Tulane increased its lead to 4-0 in the fourth before UH freshman left fielder Cameron Nickens got the Cougars on the board with an RBI double.

With two on and two outs in the bottom of the fifth, the UH bats exploded to put up nine runs.

Sophomore third baseman Zach Arnold got things started for the Cougars with a two-run double followed by a Lopez RBI single, a bases-clearing double off the bat of senior first baseman Ryan Hernandez and an RBI single from sophomore center fielder Samuel Tormos.

McMillan put an exclamation point on the huge inning with a two-run moonshot over the left field wall and onto Elgin Street.

Tulane clawed back, cutting the deficit to just a single run in the eighth.

Sears, who entered the game in the sixth for his third appearance of the series, closed the door, getting the final 10 outs for the Cougars to secure the series and earn his seventh save of the season.

Junior right-hander Logan Clayton, who took the mound in relief in the fourth and threw 1 and 1/3 scoreless innings, got the win for UH.

As the end of the semester nears after another year of COVID-19 regulations, Executive Director of Student Health Services Sharon Rabinovitz gushed about the upcoming graduation ceremonies, which will be held on campus for the first time in three years. 

“It’ll look wonderful and so exciting,” Rabinovitz said. “We’re just over the moon to be able to get back there.” 

Commencement, which will be held from May 6-9, will be a ticketed event to help control the number of people who attend, Rabinovitz explained. Each graduating student will be allocated two guest tickets. 

Rabinovitz said this will be the biggest change to the event in terms of COVID-19 guidelines.

“Obviously, there’s contingency plans if there’s an increase in COVID cases, which we don’t anticipate at this point,” Rabinovitz said.

Although the number of COVID-19 cases has increased slightly in DeKalb County, Rabinovitz said cases have remained steady at Emory University over the past two weeks. The University’s COVID-19 dashboard shows that 41 cases were reported among students, faculty and staff in the past 10 days, a slight decrease from the 53 cases reported on April 5. 

“We do have a little bit of ebbs and flows, but the swing is much, much lower,” Rabinovitz said. “Cases are down to trends that hopefully will continue throughout the next couple months.”

The percentage of Emory community members who are fully vaccinated has also remained steady, with 95% of students and 91.4% of faculty and staff reporting being up-to-date on their vaccinations as of April 16, according to the dashboard. On April 5, 94.6% of students and 91% of faculty and staff reported that they were up-to-date.  

Last month, Emory restricted Wi-Fi for students who were noncompliant with booster vaccine requirements, and was met with national criticism. However, Rabinovitz credited the high vaccination rates to the Wi-Fi restrictions.

“We had a significant decrease [in non-compliant students] once we rolled out the Wi-Fi [restrictions],” Rabinovitz said. “From about [1200 or 1300], down to about 600.”

About 500 students are still non-compliant, according to Rabinovitz. Although she said administration is currently discussing how to enforce compliance next year, Rabinovitz explained that COVID-19 vaccines and boosters will likely be added to the list of other vaccinations students are required to submit to register for classes, such as Hepatitis B. 

“Coming back for next year, people will still be held to these standards,” Rabinovitz said. “Everyone — whether they’re here now, or coming back, or both or new — will be held to the same compliance standards, which will include the booster and the primary series.”

As the University begins preparations for next year, Rabinovitz said that students’ mental health — especially in terms of coping with the pandemic — is “at the forefront of all leadership.” She said different plans and resources will be developed over time, noting the University’s recent appointment of James Raper, the current assistant vice president for health and wellbeing at Wake Forest University (N.C.), as Emory’s first associate vice president for health, well-being, access and prevention. He is set to begin June 1.

Director of Internal Communications Emily León explained that Raper’s appointment will make mental health more accessible for students, which she said Campus Life has given a “front seat priority.”

Mental health discussions will be included in orientation programs for new students, Rabinovitz added, although she does not know the specific plans. 

Rabinovitz said she learned how to care for students holistically this year, which includes ensuring faculty have the resources necessary to support their students. 

“The medical care and assessment of students with COVID-19 is obviously very important, but also in the context of their mental health, their resources, supporting their academic mission,” Rabinovitz said. 

Rabinovitz added that she has a lot of hope for the future after seeing how well students, administration and campus life have worked together to navigate the college experience amid COVID-19.

“I know that will move us forward in a better direction,” Rabinovitz said. “Students showed how much perseverance and resilience that they’ve had. It’s been a very difficult semester, so I honor that.”

On March 16, 1991, Latasha Harlins, a 15-year-old Black girl, entered the South Los Angeles liquor store belonging to Soon Ja Du, a Korean immigrant. Harlins entered the store, put a bottle of orange juice worth $1.79 in her backpack and approached the store counter. Du accused Harlins of stealing, and when Harlins turned toward the exit after a scuffle, she was fatally shot in the back of her head by Du. 

Du went to court and was convicted of voluntary manslaughter with a sentence — five years of probation, 400 hours of community service and a fine — that incited animosity from L.A.’s Black community. 

On March 3, 1991, a graphic video of four Los Angeles police officers — three of them white — beating Rodney King, a Black man, was broadcast nationally. King, on parole for robbery and pursued by police in a high-speed chase, was kicked and beaten for 15 minutes with an audience of another dozen officers. A jury found the four officers not guilty.

Almost a year following Harlins’s death, residents from her neighborhood set fire to hundreds of Korean-owned businesses while chanting her name. 

Nearly 30 years following the L.A. Uprising, also described as the 1992 “L.A. Riots” by dominant media outlets, Asian Americans Advancing Justice hosted a panel of civil rights experts and media critics to discuss media coverage of the Uprising through a retrospective lens. 

Panelists included jarrett hill, president of the National Association of Black Journalists of L.A. and adjunct instructor of journalism at the Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism; Angela Oh, co-founder of the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association; Connie Rice, co-founder of the Advancement Project and Urban Institute; Stewart Kwoh, president emeritus and founder of the Asian Americans Advancing Justice — Los Angeles. Connie Chung Joe, the CEO of Asian Americans Advancing Justice, hosted the panel.

Chung Joe started with an overview of the events that occurred on L.A. streets 30 years ago. She stipulated that media portrayals of Harlins’ case created misinterpretation of the facts. 

“Our criminal justice system put the Korean immigrant woman’s life at a higher value than that of a teenage girl — who was Black; and when the [four officer’s] verdict came down in the King beating just a few months later, [the injustices] showed once again how anti-Black our criminal justice system was,” Chung Joe said.

She spoke on how the uprising had disproportionately affected Korean businesses, with 40% of them suffering damages in the aftermath. As Koreatown burned down, Chung Joe said desperate calls for 911 from Korean shop owners were ignored while police and firefighters gathered instead to protect Beverly Hills. 

Chung Joe said that the media framing of Korean and Black communities — Koreans portrayed as “vigilantes on store rooftops with guns shooting down on the street” and the Black community said to be “burning down buildings and looting stores” — provided little to no context surrounding the systemic racism and oppression the two communities faced leading up to Saigu. 

AAAJ noted that mainstream media at the time exacerbated divisions between Korean business owners and the Black community by using “race-related” instead of “injustice-related” violence. 

“It is such a complicated and dense topic that we knew we could not do it justice in a one hour Zoom,” Chung Joe said. “Our goal ended up being … [to] see if we can help frame the way the media will cover the L.A. Uprising … It will help the media think about the way they frame race and race relations and give it a little bit more thoughtfulness.”

Monica Lozano, president of the College Futures Foundation and the event’s moderator, asked the panelists to provide context about the struggles the Black community endured 30 years ago. Rice said that, by 1991, the Black community witnessed 80,000 jobs leave South Central with little remedy or coverage by the government and mainstream media outlets.

“Dominant media didn’t cover it very much and it was covered somewhat in the African American paper Los Angeles Sentinel, but when your entire economic base and job base leaves, you’re going to have a real gap there and people fell through the cracks,” Rice said.

Rice presented clarifying details — lack of opportunity, lack of accessibility and police brutality — to illustrate to viewers the Black community’s conditions during the 1990’s.

“The dominant media covered most of Black L.A. as deprivation and violence, because that’s what the elite communities fear,” Rice said. “We were focused on building skyscrapers downtown, we weren’t focused on building communities and building families and reinvesting in the infrastructure that created the upward mobility.”

Oh said that because the Korean community in the ’90s was composed of mostly first generation individuals, they were unprepared for the Saigu. She added that Koreans only read about owners being assaulted, burglarized and killed in their small businesses from Korean news. While the facts remained the same in American and Korean news, the panel discussed subtle nuances in language that created harmful rhetoric fueling stereotypes for both groups. 

“If your identity was ethnic Korean, you were shaken by what you saw,” Oh said. “People have asked me: ‘Well, why were [Koreans] in those communities?’ This was where they could go, and they didn’t have any special programs.”

Kwoh, a writer at the Korea Times who was concerned about the L.A.Times’ coverage of the incident, wrote a letter to the editor at the time to “tone it down” because it would incite only greater misunderstanding. Kwoh stated that even though only a very small percentage of Korean Americans have tried to protect their businesses with guns, the L.A. Times had used a picture displaying Korean Americans with “guns on rooftops shooting down on people.”

Following up on his letter, Kwoh met with then-L.A. Times editor Shelby Coffey. Kwoh’s successful advocacy of precise language led Coffey to hire Chung Joe to better engage and understand the communities the paper was reporting on. 

“It was about having reporters who live in the community, who know the community, who speak the language of the community and could really understand the issues,” Kwoh said. “The lesson I learned is that you do have to confront the powers that be … because, if you don’t, you just accept a media that doesn’t uphold a multiracial democracy.”

Hill said the media’s goal has always been profit and that the purpose now is to change the system and bend it to the needs of what we need it to reflect now.

“I think it’s important that we always recognize, one: what these systems were set up to do; but then second: the ways in which we can begin to change them and be more inclusive and diverse and equitable to be able to better address the community issues that we are creating, but also exacerbated,” hill said.

Prospective journalists entering the field should take a stand to uphold diverse context, Rice said, and read up on the history of the stories they’re covering. 

“You’ve got to fight to get your articles that cover both the conflicts as well as the emerging alliances in these communities,” Rice said. “When you have a journalist covering South Los Angeles and the violence, give the context to that.”

Public relations senior David Nguyen is running for Pearland ISD board of trustees Position 6, hoping to win the April 25 election and represent the district he graduated from. | Courtesy of David Nguyen

Most students have their minds laser-focused on finals and graduation preparation in the weeks as the semester comes to an end, but some have an eye on something that will impact them far past their college experience.

Public relations senior David Nguyen is running for Pearland ISD board of trustees Position 6, hoping to make a positive impact on the district he graduated high school from almost four years ago.

“I feel like no one understands a student better than an actual student,” Nguyen said. “The (board members) don’t quite understand what students and teachers truly go through in the modern public education system.”

Nguyen is the only candidate running against an incumbent for a Pearland ISD board seat, wanting a new perspective to give students the ear he said he didn’t have during his time in high school.

One of Nguyen’s inspirations to serve his district as an elected official came from Mike Floyd, a former Pearland ISD trustee who won his seat at 18-years-old.

Floyd was still in high school when he took on the role, which Nguyen said was important in order to bring the student perspective to the board.

“I was inspired by his service for the students because the students’ perspective is very much important on any board decisions,” Nguyen said. “They haven’t gone to school for probably decades.”

As part of his plan to advocate for students in his district, Nguyen aims for more effective funding for those students as well as teachers.

Nguyen mentioned low-income students needing more resources due to lack of internet, not having a computer or missing lunches. This could be helped with better funding, Nguyen said.

“The district right now (is) focusing on the majority,” Nguyen said. “They’re leaving behind those who are in the minority, the ones who are always in the shadows, the ones who aren’t able to speak up for themselves. Making sure that funding goes to those students is a priority.”

Mental health is also one of Nguyen’s integral issues his platform wishes to address. In his senior year of high school, he said two fellow students attempted suicide.

Aside from putting more funding towards mental health resources for students, Nguyen wants to take on the rigor in these schools.

“I know academic stress plays into their depression (and) plays into their being in poor mental health,” Nguyen said.

Instead, Nguyen is opting for a healthier, competitive environment through initiatives such as adjusting the grade point average scale and teaching real-world applications in classrooms.

Accountability is another crucial goal for Nguyen, stemming from the roots of his high school experiences.

“It was constantly frustrating to confront board members, confront the superintendent, confront administration to address these issues and then fight for them,” Nguyen said. “And to have their doors shut in my face, just to be denied, that’s one of the biggest reasons as to why I was interested in that seat.”

Although he’s running a campaign as a graduating UH senior, Nguyen said one of the bigger challenges with his campaign was the aspect of funding. This is partly because running as a 22-year-old leads many to question if he’s fit for the position, Nguyen said.

Despite the road bumps, Nguyen is thankful for his time at UH which helped him build-up to this moment.

“The many different people I was able to meet at my time at UH and their experiences have helped shape what I wanted to fight for and what I wanted to stand for,” Nguyen said.

It’s currently unclear whether Venom and other older Sony films featuring Marvel characters will head to the House of Mouse’s streamer eventually.

Photo Essay: Surfing

Nora Povejsil/Staff

Sunset surf at Swami’s Beach.

In the year since I learned to surf last April, I’ve gotten to explore surf towns and beautiful, tucked away beaches all over California. I am originally from Minnesota, so I have experienced the child-like joy of catching waves as well as the utterly serene moments in between for the first time. This photo essay is intended to be a love letter to surfing, an ode to all those moments out on the ocean filled with excitement and with peace, amongst community and in solitude.
