Playing the Clarinet brings a beautiful tune. It also requires lots of practice for Sophomore Mackenzie Hutchinson as high notes are a difficult criteria to handle. She believes in that high notes in music causes the musician to spend more time practicing as playing the clarinet can lead to full concentration and timing. Though her love for music keeps her clarinet busy, she also enjoys the environment of her group.

“The music and family is a friendly environment,” Hutchinson said.

How Do You Practice Self-Care?

Self-care can be the simplest thing, like taking time out of a busy day to wear a face mask or bathe with rose petals. It’s important to set time aside and learn to breathe and relax. High school students have a lot of weight on their shoulders. However, the littlest thing students can do is take time to unwind.

“I practice self-care because it’s necessary to make time for myself after being stressed about school and cross-country,” junior Sami Fredriksen said. “[I use] the soy cleanser by Fresh as well as bath bombs from Lush and Ulta.”

Overall self-care is not just about taking time for yourself but to learn what is needed for a peace of mind.
