As finals week inches closer, the Associated Student Organization brought out glitter, beads and lots of glue for Pierce College students to get their hands gooey and their minds off of studying.
Attendees of ASO’s “Relax with Crafts” event made multicolor, sparkly slime on Tuesday, under the shining May sun along Rocky Young Park. It was one of several ASO activities this week, with “Pawsitivity” and “Grad Fest” events coming up on Thursday.
Jasmine Vargas, who chairs the ASO committee that helped organize these events, said the slime activity was a way to bring joy and relaxation to students.
“We wanted something fun and nostalgic,” Vargas said. “I have a lot of good memories making slime as a kid and others do too.”
Public health major Karen Pacheco came to the event with her childhood friend, Kimberly Olivera. Once they arrived, Pacheco and Olivera grabbed some glue and activator and got to work making slime.
“It’s a good way to de-stress, building up to finals,” Pacheco said.
Olivera, a philosophy major, said she enjoyed the creativity of the event.
“I’m having fun and I’m getting creative,” Olivera. “It’s slime, and you can never go wrong with that.”
