College enlists Care Bears to comfort stressed-out "Snowflake" students

A dorm display at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst is using Care Bears to help students who feel “grumpy or stressed.”
“Feeling grumpy or stressed? Let the Care Bears help!” the display states above a large, hand-drawn rainbow adorned with bit of advice for students.

“It’s important to take care of ourselves! Self-care is an active choice and you should treat it as such,” one section proclaims, while other suggest that students “surround yourselves with supportive people” and “reminders of what you love.”
The display also suggests goofing around with friends, making time for fun, eating healthy, and getting enough sleep.
From Campus Reform -- Snowflakes on yet another level?

They can't just smoke weed like we did?

Oh good grief. This is almost as bad as that SEC school that had pet therapy and relaxation rooms in it's library for the week of finals.

Someone went in the attic and dug through mom's old keepsakes.

This is good advice.
The care bears thing is ridiculous though.

Republicans are getting scared! Just wait til the Care Bears combine their powers to summon Captain Planet to stop Roy Moore!

Not really. At least not in the way they mean it.
They mean "surround yourself with people who will blow smoke up your arse and tell you all your choices are awesome"
That's horrible advice

If I was stressed out and walked past that sign and it put a smile on my face then mission accomplished. Is it dumb? Yeah for sure, but also harmless.
