Sound of Mind, Body, and Style

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Princeton chapter.
In the spirit of Mental Health Awareness Week (October 2nd-October 8th), we at Her Campus Princeton have launched our first photo shoot–Sound of Mind, Body, and Style. Princeton is infamous for the stressful lifestyles; and so, our photo shoot is meant to raise awareness of mental, physical, and emotional health affectors–both positive and negative. The shots below depict situations that stress or relax the average collegiette™! Enjoy and comment below!
