What better way to relieve already piled-on stress from the first month of school than by attending the Activities Program Board’s (APB) spa night? 

APB was right on time with scheduling this event after many students endured their first exams.  

APB switched it up Thursday and had a more relaxing vibe with spa night. All you had to do was walk up the stairs to the first floor in the CUB and follow the relaxing, upbeat music into the Ceddia Union Building’s (CUB) Multi-Purpose Room (MPR).  

Students instantly knew they were in for a treat with everything that APB had planned for spa night. 

There were drinks, snacks, massages, massage chairs, face masks, a face steaming/face massage station and a nail-painting station. A crowd favorite was getting a chance to unwind with personal massages. 

Many people headed over to the face station, where they had the opportunity to pick from several different kinds of rejuvenating face masks. While the face masks did their magic, everyone waited in line to get their faces steamed and massaged. 

After the face steaming to clean and unclog pores, students were asked about their skin. 

Everyone received a facial treatment, which was personalized based on their skin type.

Students could also go to the nail station. First, there was a table to remove current nail polish, and file and buff students’ nails. 

Students could choose from a large variety of colors to put on their nails. They could also choose different kinds of glitter to add a little pop and personality for each person. 

Spa night was a night to get away from schoolwork and enjoy a relaxing getaway with friends, facials and good vibes. 

APB is SU’s club for planning and setting up fun events for students both on and off campus. They have had several successful events in the past such as horseback riding, go-karting and a day trip to New York City. 

If you missed spa night, APB has many other fun events coming up to get away from the daily stresses of college life. 

These events include a concert with Keith Urban and Kelsea Ballerini at Hershey Stadium, a trip to Mountville, Pennsylvania, for Field of Screams and a Paint Nite in the CUB MPR right here on campus.
