5 Things That Will Always Brighten A Stressed College Kid's Day
Brad Neathery

We've all been there: so many assignments you don't know what to do first, your dorm room is a complete disaster area, and you don't have any clean clothes. This is the inevitable life of a stressed-out college student. Sometimes you have it together, but mostly you don't. That's okay, seeing these things around campus will always make your day just a little bit better.

1. Therapy Dogs

Who doesn't love seeing a therapy dog? They're doing their jobs by being hugged, and honestly, I wish I could do that as a full-time career too. Dogs will make every person smile, and brighten the day of someone who may not have had the best day.

2. Free Food

When you're walking to class and you see a stand set up with people handing out food, then you also see a sign that says free? AMAZING. Free food will make everyone's day. It's science.

3. A "Class Is Canceled" Email

There's very little I can say about this, but canceled class could just be the single greatest thing to happen in a college kid's life. Hands down.

4. Finding A Good Parking Spot

Parking SUCKS on big college campuses. When everyone is trying to get to class, the parking lots are full and it makes you sad. It's truly a #blessing when you can find a good parking spot.

5. The Weekend!



Once the school week is over, it's time for the weekend! No more stressful classes all day and running back and forth, it's YOU TIME. Relax and rejuvenate, or go out and have fun! It's up to you!

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
