5 Things That Make University Of Southern Indiana Students Smile

Going to college can be stressful beyond belief, but there are things that can make the hard days become easier. With finals quickly approaching, make sure to stop and take a minute to smile at the world around you. Here are 5 things that can make USI students smile.

5. The Fountains

The fountains at USI are a sign of warmer weather and beauty across campus. When you pass the fountains, you can always be guaranteed to smile; especially if someone put in soap.

4. The Community

Whether it's welcome week, homecoming or Springfest, you can always feel the school spirit in the air.

3. Beautiful Scenery

If you are walking, jogging, riding a bike, walking to class, or riding the bus, there is always great beauty about the campus. The flowers, the lake, and the gazebo are my favorite campus beauties.

2. The Cone

The cone is another thing that can make a USI student smile. When the sunlight is hitting it just right, it's always the picture perfect scene.

1. James the Bus Driver

The number one reason to smile is because of James (the campus bus driver). He always shares a wave to everyone on campus, and takes his time to make sure you know he cares. Who knew how much a wave and a fist bump in the morning would make students smile?

Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
