The topic I am choosing for my poster is about balance. Throughout my years of college, I have learned that balance is very important. Many students experience burnout because they don't know how to balance their life. Balance could be between partying and schoolwork, healthy food and sweet treats, exercise and rest. Balance is very important to keep a healthy mind and body. In a study done by Emily Vernet at the University of Central Florida, it was found that working long hours with little balance between work and leisure leads to burnout, poor physical and psychological health, and decreased employee performance (Vernet, 2019). The goal of my lesson is to teach incoming students about balance, so they know the importance of it sooner rather than later. Having a balanced life will keep them in the right mindset to succeed.
