Horton chose a pig to be his stuffed animal. “I named him Loso Mel Jr., after me, and I chose the pig because I thought he looked cooler than the other choices.

Walking tacos and cupcakes were given out in the bookstore. Back pain and tense shoulders were taken care of on Thursday! Massages were given in the Student Union. De-stress week ended on a sweet note. FREE donuts and stress relievers were given out at the bookstore.
