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.

A man Simeon was very just and he got told by the Holy Ghost to see Jesus before his death. Mary and Joseph took Jesus to the temple to offer a sacrifice. Jesus and Simeon met, and Simeon praised Jesus. When Jesus was twelve, he stayed at the tem...
When I usually write things for any class, I find myself having words come up to my head as I write. Sometimes, these are pretty big words, and I find myself not using the word appropriately. So a tool that I use a lot is Google to define words that I need to check up the exact definition on. I don't really use the etymology function of it much though since I'm not too interested in that.
