With our first semester being
halfway over, the heat of what we learned is starting to show. Exams are being taken and the likelihood of passing is
all dependent on the person. There are some people who will be locked in their
room for days just to prepare. Others on the other hand will study the night
before. Either way the stress of doing well is a black cloud over all of our
heads. That’s why is important to not forget about the silly things we love
about Southern and what we do to unwind.
Relaxing is going to be different
for everyone. Some people will go to a sporting event or go to New Haven and
explore. I chose what would fit my schedule the best: being with friends. We
didn’t leave campus but just being around people that knew what I was going
through and could distract me is exactly what I needed.
Normally I am in constant contact
with them anyway but this week was a bit different. If I asked for advice on
what to do, they would give it to me. Other than that, we tried to keep our
minds out of a stressful place and help each other through it.
This assignment has made me think
of things that are “fun.” What is fun to me doesn’t have to be fun to other
people. Southern also realizes this. They have many different activities going
on every night that can help get your mind off the stress of academics.
