My Event Story

On April 29^th, 2015, Wednesday from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. I went to one of the school event at Avila University. It is “Free neck and back massage”. This event is one of the stress relief week’s event. This event was sponsored by Wellness, GAP, Student Senate & RHA at Marian Center Lounge. There were 6 licensed massage therapists, and it took about 15 minutes for 1 person. Actually cycle was so fast in a good way, so most of the students did not need to wait for the massage for long time. I personally wanted to go to this event so bad, because I seriously needed the massage. I was having a serious headache and the cause was coming from neck and shoulder. So when I see the posters for this event, I decided to join for sure!

When I went there, I interviewed some people who were waiting for massage and people who was just done from the massage. The first person I interviewed with is Emily James, nursing major at Avila University. I asked her, “What do you think about this event?” She said, “Having neck and back massage for stress relief week, I think this is really great event and it really helps. This massage is relaxing and very calm, I think everyone needs to take a break, and refresh the wrong head. That’s great.”

The next person I interviewed is Yesenia Beltran, Junior, Nursing major. I asked her, “What do you think of the massage?” She said, “I think students stress relief week is really nice, and it helps you relax. I got a massage and it was super nice, so I recommend it.”

I interviewed Haley Baer next. She is also nursing major at Avila University. I asked “What do you think of this event?” She answered, “I think these massages are great, because it reliefs all the tensions you built up and stressful finals, and it’s just a good twenty-minute break."

The last person I interviewed at the event is Conner Hetzler, theatre major and dance miner. I asked her, “How did you know this event?” She answered, “I’ve seen it on posters, and I got an email about it. And I definitely wanted to get here because I need it.” Then I asked her, “Do you want this event more often?” She said, “Yes, I think definitely they should keep this around. Actually this is really good stress relief, and I think line moves fast so it’s really helpful.”

As you can see, obviously this event helps students to relief stress. After getting massage, I felt so much better and refreshed. This is final week, and everyone has stressed. So it is very nice to join like this event and relax. Also it helps get organized for coming final exams!
