So for my second blog I decided to go to a place on campus rather than off campus this time. I chose to go to The Zen Den. This is located at the BMU on the third floor of Chico State. I did not know about this place until a friend started talking to me about it and their experience there. Once I was told about this place I became really interested in it and was curious on how being there would make me feel.

​

It was a long day after classes and I was feeling tired. So I thought this would be the perfect time to go to The Zen Den. I took my friend Neetha with me. When we got there I had an idea about the place but I was not sure about what exactly to expect. Once we arrived I noticed that it was extremely quiet. There was no sound at all. Lots of people were napping. reading, or even just getting a massage. What I noticed is that the main reason people come here is to relax after a stressful day or throughout their day if they are just feeling tired or need a break. They had massage chairs, lights, bean bag chairs, and hammocks . I decided to try the hammock. I laid down in it and took a quick a nap. It was actually pretty comfortable. The dark lighting in the room and the white dim lights made it the perfect background to take a nap in.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While being at The Zen Den I felt very relaxed. It felt calm. I enjoyed being here because it helped me forget about all my school assignments and stress that I have as best as I could. I am looking forward to visiting this place whenever I feel that I need some time for myself to relax or just need some quiet time to think or sleep. This was my first time going to a place like this and it was a good feeling .Having something like this on campus can help the students in a positive way which is a good thing to have when students need sleep because everyone including me can get very stressed in college.
