YMCA after-school counselors Autumn Smith (left) and Zaniyah Baldwin (right) prepare slime for one of the organization’s after-school activities.
Autumn Smith is a sophomore majoring in Psychology at UGA
“I love slime. Some people may find it gross or messy, but I’ve always been one of those people who loved to touch things and experience different textures. I even learned in one of my psychology classes that it’s actually proven that touching objects with smooth and soft textures is very calming and it helps relaxes people. It definitely makes me feel happy and I’m really glad I get to teach our kids to make slime today. It’s pretty simple to make, it’s basically glue, baking soda and food coloring. I think the other after-school counselors are having even more fun than the kids making slime!”
