Sitting on the floor outside class, my friend and I frantically raced to finish studying for our midterm. Hundreds of lines of Latin pounding in our head, aching to come out- hopefully in proper English. At that moment, our stress and fear seemed to go through the roof, but no fear:
Cheesecake Wednesday was here.
Cheesecake Wednesday is a monthly holiday that is all about celebrating success, commiserating over failure, all while enjoying some non-college cafeteria cheesecake!
As soon as my friend and I saw that the local Starbucks carried Cheesecake Factory cheesecake slices, we knew we had to have some, so why not make it a monthly holiday?
The rest of the month, we focus on efforts on achieving good marks, studying hard, completing homework assignments, working on our co-curricular duties, eating healthy, exercising sometimes, sleeping a decent amount of hours- you name it, we do it (or at least, we try)!
When Cheesecake Wednesday rolls around, we anxiously await sitting in the calm, quiet, warm cafe, eating a slice of decadent cheesecake while taking a break from all the hustle and bustle of school and our busy lives.
I urge you, if you find yourselves overwhelmed with the prospect of staying on top of work and everything else that comes with life- try a Cheesecake Wednesday or Insert Other Food or Activity and Day Here.
Take a much-needed break with a good friend, vow to not talk about work for just the few moments. Sit back, relax, and enjoy.
Cheesecake Wednesdays don't have to be a consistent time every month.
Say you get a bad grade on an exam, call for a Cheesecake Wednesday! Say you are particularly upset one day, call for a Cheesecake Wednesday! Say you just want a break from everyday life, call for a Cheesecake Wednesday!
In the midst of exam season, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed. Sit back, relax, and enjoy a nice slice of cheesecake.
