During midterms, students begin to stress out more than normal. Lately, I’ve found myself looking very closely at all the details in my life, instead of standing back and looking at the big picture. Something that has helped me combat the midterm blues is simplicity and thankfulness.There’s nothing better than enjoying the little things in life that, when acknowledged, make your day a little better. Here’s a list of things that ought to make your day a little better while walking around our Baylor campus as of late.

1.)   The Memorial Dining staff write encouraging notes on to-go boxes.

Everyday, no matter how stressful, has a little bit of sunshine in it. Whether that be through a 4th of July in October celebration on Fountain Mall or the dining staff reinforcing how awesome you are, it can make your day a little bit better.

How to Survive Midterms

These next two weeks are the ones we’ve all seen in our schedules and have tried to ignore…well until now: Midterms. During this two week stretch, I will have three presentations, four tests and three quizzes. Luckily, I’ll be able to rest once these week pass. However until then, I am stuck studying. So, I have come up with a remedy of how to make studying somewhat bearable (no Baylor pun intended).

1. Write down everything you have to do.

2. Organize your time and rank what is important.

3. Gather all necessary items (paper, notecards, pencils, highlighters, cookies, popcorn, Dr Pepper, coffee, more coffee, etc.).

4. Plan for breaks (Walk the Bear Trail, go to Common Grounds or go to Cameron Park).

5. Change up where you study (Armstrong Browning Library, the SUB, outside in a hammock).

6. Take breaks (not too many though … )!

7. Study hard, and it will all pay off!
