Oftentimes, being a student can drain your energy. You feel like acads is often the source of your stress and the requirements for orgs and projects seem endless.

Fear not, these places do exist on Taft—inside and outside of De La Salle University. All you need to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy these spots with our "chillist" (get it?) of chill places.
