Relaxation remedies
Many off-campus businesses will be able to provide some relaxation for students preparing for final examinations.
“Take a study break to clear your head and come out and play some golf,” said Terri Sommerville, manager of Riverwood Resort, 1313 E. Broomfield Road. “Get in touch with nature and it might help you study better.”
Sommerville said the resort is offering some specials this weekend on golf and bowling.
“We have some coupon specials out for golf,” she said.
The coupon special lets two people walk nine holes for the price of one.
“Two people can play for $14 (Monday through Friday) and two people can play for $18 (Friday through Sunday),” she said. “Just mention the ad.”
Specials on bowling also are available, she said.
“We’re open for happy hour at 4 (p.m.) on Thursday and Friday for bowling,” she said. “After 4 o’ clock, games are $2.75 a game and pitcher specials are $2 a pitcher.”
The driving range, putt-putt course and pro-shop is available at The Golf Center, 2280 E. Broomfield Road, for those interested in golfing without walking.
Chuck Johnson, an employee at The Golf Center, said there will be a deal for the putt-putt course.
“It costs $3 a piece for putt-putt,” the Ortonville senior said. “Normally, it’s like six bucks, so that’s cool.”
Buckets of golf balls for the range are $5 and $7, he said.
The center will be open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. for putt-putt and from 11 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on the range, Johnson said.
Other area businesses offer a little more up-close-and-personal relief.
Loosen Up Massage Therapy, 600 E. Broadway St. Suite 111, is running a special through May 5 for a free half-hour massage with the purchase of a half-hour.
Thursday and Friday give the perfect chance to experience the two day spas Mount Pleasant has to offer.
Ambiance Salon and Day Spa, located at 714 E. Wisconsin St., is open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday and Friday.
Waterworks Salon and Spa, 502 W. Broadway St., is open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday, and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday.
B-Tan, 1620 S. Mission, has a way for students to get a tan before they leave for summer vacation.
“People can come in and get a UV-free tan, called Mind Mist,” said Kara Daly, Romeo sophomore and B-Tan employee. “Right now you can do it for 20 bucks.”
