Apart from part-time jobs, internships, school assignments, and clubs and organizations, now you have to add on studying for your exams. It may seem impossible to get everything done in a timely manner, but we believe you can do it!

We also want to remind you to take a break once in a while, especially during exams week. Taking some time for yourself is healthy for both for your mind and your body. So...how do you de-stress at Temple University? We'll tell you how.

1. Attend a yoga class

If you didn't know already, the IBC Student Recreation Center offers various group fitness classes. We recommend taking either "Yoga" or "Mindfulness Meditation." Yoga will help stretch out your body. Once you're done with the class, we guarantee you'll leave feeling more aware and awake than when you came. "Mindfulness Meditation," on the other hand, will make you feel very relaxed. The lights will be turned off, soft music will be playing, and the only thing you'll hear is the instructor's voice. Unlike Yoga, Mindfulness Meditation is a 30-minute class, and will definitely make you feel so relaxed you'll want to take a nap afterwards. Learn more about the IBC group fitness classes by clicking here.

2. Workout at the gym

If Yoga or Mindfulness Meditation isn't for you, try lifting weights, going on the treadmill, or doing some sit ups. Some people prefer to relieve stress with an intense workout.

3. Be on the lookout for therapy dogs at the library

One of the best things to ever happen on campus is the therapy dogs! They can usually be found at the library, and let me tell you, just seeing and playing with the dogs will make you smile and forget about all of your worries.

4. Find a quiet place on campus

There are SO MANY relaxing places on campus to read, listen to music, or even take a nap. For example, you can go to Beury Beach, the upper floors of the Paley Library, or the study rooms in White Hall or Anderson Hall.

5. Take a nap!

Nothing beats a good nap. It will definitely be good for you, especially after staying up so late last night.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
