Finals Week at Slippery Rock University

With Thanksgiving tomorrow, this makes me think about how close the semester is to coming to an end. It is very exciting but also very nerve racking. As I looked through my planner this morning, I realized how much needs to be done before finals week. I like how we now have 2 weeks before finals week. However, I do not like how we have classes on the Monday of finals week. I wish that we could actually start finals on Monday and then possibly be done sooner than Friday. However, I have gotten lucky a couple of times with being done with my finals on Thursday, I think beginning finals week on Monday would be a great idea for the future.

People on Cell Phones While Walking to Class

There is not a day that goes by that I am either pushed off the sidewalk or ran into by someone on their cell phone. People are always talking on the cell phone or trying to text while walking. I wouldn't mind it if these people actually looked up once in a while to see if someone was coming towards them. Instead their focus is to look straight down at their phones and not pay attention to what is going on. I really wish people would stop focusing on their phones and start focusing on where they are walking.

Healthy Nutritional Tip for Thanksgiving

It is so hard to believe another Thanksgiving is around the corner. I love this time of year, spending time with friends and family. Most of all I love enjoying the home cooked Thanksgiving meal. However, the goal for most people is not to overeat while trying to enjoy the delicious selection of food. I have a tip that has worked for me for years now. Whenever you are getting ready to attend a Thanksgiving meal, pick a pair of pants that fit nice. Try not to wear sweatpants, loose pants, or stretch pants. With wearing pants that fit perfectly this ables you to know when you are fool. Knowing you are fool is a great way not to overeat. Also, usually when I take a big "sigh" that means it is time to stop. I trust this tip helps everyone this Thanksgiving. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Having to use flex at Rockies Grill at Slippery Rock University

Last semester I went to Rockies Grill a lot with my roommate and friends for lunch or supper. Before last semester ended all students quickly found out that the only places students could eat using a meal plan would be only Boozel and the Weisenfluh. At the time, I did not really think this would really affect me. However, now when I go into Rockies to get something small, instead of just being charged a meal, I have to use flex. This is also in effect for the other cafes on campus. To some students this may be helpful not being able to use a meal at Rockies or other cafes. However, for myself I totally disagree with this.
