📱✨ SOCIAL MEDIA CHECK-IN: Is your feed feeding you… or draining you?
Be honest, Coogs 👀
Have you ever:
💭 Compared your life to someone’s “perfect” post?
❤️ Checked your likes wayyy too many times?
😵‍💫 Left social media feeling worse than when you opened it?
📸 Felt pressure to make your life look more exciting than it really is?
⏰ Lost track of time when you definitely had something else to do?
If you said “yep” to even one, it might be time for a social media tune-up! 🔧
Try this:
✨ Mute or unfollow accounts that make you feel “less than.”
✨ Turn off notifications that constantly pull you back in.
✨ Post because it means something to YOU, not just for the likes.
✨ Take a scroll break and reconnect with something—or someone—that matters offline.
✨ Remember: you’re seeing a snapshot of someone’s life, not the whole story.
💛 Your worth isn’t measured in likes, followers, views, or comments.
And while you’re taking care of you, come take care of some real-life skills, too! 👇

May is Mental Health Awareness Month 💚

We’re proud to highlight our Certified Caring Coogs—students, staff, and faculty who have committed to showing up, supporting others, and helping create a culture of care across the University of Houston.

Each Certified Caring Coog has been trained to recognize when someone may be struggling and how to respond with care, compassion, and connection.
