One of my favorite places in the world is the University of Oklahoma Campus. I spend most of my time at the campus, and it's a really beautiful campus. There's a lot of activities to do here. It's a pretty special place.
I totally agree about activities, Nathaniel: every day I feature some campus event in the announcements, and some days, it is hard to choose because of all the things that are happening! If you are in a campus organization with events going on, let me know: the best announcements to include are the ones connected with students in the class. :-)
Last week, I started the "Happiness Jar" learning challenge. I decided to write down things that made me happy onto the notes on my phone. It was pretty hard to do, since this season of the semester is very busy for everyone, and it does indeed get very stressful. However, the few things that I wrote down made me more thankful for the good things that happened to me. I'm not sure if I'm the only one who experiences this, but I tend to be more happy about something if I'm concretely thankful for it. The Happiness Jar reminds me to be more thankful of my experiences. I have more happiness whenever I am thankful .
I've actually been using the google timer (when you Google search for "timer") many times recently. It's actually always been for one reason only. Sadly, it's because I need a nap. Sometimes I'll have homework or studying that needs to be done before class, and it'll be like 2am. I just need a quick doze for 20 mins to refresh my brain. I used to do this on my phone, but I'm such a heavy sleeper, and I subconsciously learned how to turn my phone alarm off while I'm still in my sleep, causing me to oversleep. But the Google Timer is nice because I can make it loud enough to wake me up completely and get my work done. My Nap Device
