Being stressed in college has almost become a rite of passage and the COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly heightened these stress levels. The purpose of this study was to obtain more information regarding students' perceptions regarding the benefits, if any, of engaging in mindfulness practices in the classroom. The study consisted of students from a small liberal arts college who were enrolled in a teacher preparation program during the 2020 Fall semester. Participants engaged in a guided meditation using the Calm app as a whole group at the beginning of class and then a gratitude journaling activity at the end of class. Students were given a survey at the end of the semester to judge the effectiveness of mindfulness practices in the classroom and to determine if these practices made an impact on students' lives outside of the classroom.
