Taking a Break in Nature: A Campus Walk

by: Mardline Prevot


The other day, I decided to take a break from my studies and go for a walk on my campus nature trail. The weather was perfect for a walk – sunny and warm, with a gentle breeze blowing. As I walked along the trail, I took a deep breath of fresh air and enjoyed the peace and quiet.

The trail wound through a wooded area, and I was surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature. I could hear birds singing, leaves rustling in the breeze, and the distant sound of a babbling brook. I saw squirrels scurrying up trees, deer grazing in a meadow, and a variety of colorful wildflowers blooming along the side of the trail.

I walked for about an hour, and I felt completely refreshed and rejuvenated by the time I returned to my dorm room. I was more focused and clear-headed, and I felt ready to tackle my schoolwork again.

If you're looking for a way to improve your mental and physical health, I highly recommend taking a walk in nature. It's a free, easy, and enjoyable way to de-stress and connect with the natural world. And if you're lucky enough to have a nature trail on your campus, take advantage of it! You might be surprised at how much a short walk in nature can do for you.

In addition to the mental and physical health benefits, spending time in nature can also help to improve your focus and concentration. So, if you're feeling stuck on a homework assignment or studying for an exam, take a break for a walk in nature. You might find that it helps you to clear your head and come back to your work with a fresh perspective.

I hope this blog post has inspired you to take a walk in nature. Even if you don't have a nature trail on your campus, there's probably a park or other green space nearby that you can visit. So get out there and enjoy the beauty of the natural world!

Embracing My Roots: A Black Advertiser's Journey Through Hip-Hop Studies by: Mardline Prevot Vision Collage by Mazopal Design   Hey everyone, Mardi here, and I'm diving deep this semester. As a Black advertiser, CEO of Mazopal Design, and a proud Haitian American from Northeast DC, I'm embarking on a journey of self-discovery through the lens of Hip-Hop Studies. This isn't just another class for me; it's a profound exploration of my heritage, my identity, and my artistic expression. Hip-Hop and My Life: More Than Just Music Hip-hop isn't just a genre; it's a culture, a movement, and a mirror reflecting the realities of my life. Growing up in DC, I was immersed in the beats, the lyrics, and the raw energy of hip-hop. It was the soundtrack to my youth, a voice for the voiceless, and a powerful tool for storytelling. Now, I'm excited to dissect the five elements of old-school hip-hop – DJing, MCing, breakdancing, graffiti, and knowledge – and compare them t...

A New Home for Haitian Art in Bowie by: Mardline Prevot  Via Mazopal Design ( Haitian Community: The Vintage View) The words sting, even when they're not directed at me. In my courses, when Haiti comes up, it's a predictable script: poverty, political instability, a place to avoid. A casual dismissal of a country so rich in history and resilience. It's a narrative that paints my home as a lost cause, a cautionary tale. And for a long time, I just listened, the words sinking in. But then I realized something. They're not completely wrong. Haiti has faced incredible challenges. But that's not the whole story, and it's certainly not the only story. What's missing from their textbooks is the vibrant, powerful history that makes Haiti what it is today. They don't talk about the incredible strength and ingenuity of a country that, after 1804, became the first free Black republic. They don't mention the Black liberation that sparked hope across the diaspora...
