Michigan Football

It got very dark today around 5pm. I found myself walking around campus remembering memories from the previous year. When it gets dark this early and it’s windy, I feel stressed much more than when it’s warm and sunny. It’s interesting how weather, timing, and light affects your mood. Who can relate?

Just played in our community basketball league. Although it is only 10pm, it feels like 2 in the morning. Funny how time works. Anyone else relate to this since we turned the clocks back? Let me know!

Does weather affect your feelings?

Now that the weather is cold daily in Ann Arbor, I feel so lazy. It is very hard to stay active and motivated. All I want to do is stay in my bed because it is warm. I wanted to hear what other people think about this since somehow there are people who prefer cold weather.

I am so excited for Halloween tonight! I picked out my costume and am ready to go. Is everyone drained from the weekend or are people motivated? I’m even wearing my costume to class! Please respond with your thoughts.

Halloween

I am so excited for Halloween! It is one of my favorite times of the year. Tonight, I am going to wear a shark onesie. I haven't planned the rest of the week, but it will be special. I want to hear what everyone else is wearing and if they like Halloween!

Training

Recently, I have started going to the gym to keep my body in shape. I realized this was necessary because it is so easy to be lazy when you're in college, but that leads to a bad work ethic in class. I've noticed that when I go to the gym in the morning before class, I am a lot more productive in class that day. Anyone else agree or have a different experience?

[jameshiker]

I think one relaxing week to break up my semester at school is necessary. I feel so refreshed when I get back to classes. Maybe we should have the full week off in the future. What do we think? Lmk

Home Sweet Home. I am back in NYC for the week and it feels great. Coming back home from college is so refreshing. I love being in school but a relaxing break is necessary here and there. Time to rest up and then let the dog lose.

Big Weekend

This weekend is going to be special. I have 6 friends and my younger brother visiting for the game. Although I am very excited, I have much work to finish before they come. Once I finish, I'll be very relieved. Name a time when you've felt like this!

Work-Life Balance

One thing I've been working on is preparing for recruitment for IB jobs while also enjoying my college life at the BEST university in the world. I've been making sure to go on walks and get fresh air to avoid "information overload." Does anyone else have a similar coping mechanism?

[jameshiker]

Football Sunday. Such an amazing day. My family has a tradition to order Chinese food every Sunday, this is a tradition I’ve kept in college. What family traditions do other people have that’s special to them?

[jameshiker]

My mother is coming to visit this weekend. I’m very excited! Michigans campus has a lot to do and is a great place to show off to family and friends. I’m working on finishing all of my assignments today and tomorrow so I can enjoy the weekend. What is everyone else doing this weekend? Leave comments!

Bopjib

#ready #GoBlue #AnnArbor

Today, I ate Bopjib and it was delicious. I highly recommend to anyone in Ann Arbor. I have a ton of work to do so this is a meal filling me with energy. I also cleaned my room this morning so I'm feeling ready to go.

Speaker Today

A long weekend is almost upon us. This is why I don't sign up for Friday classes. Last night, I used a "wrinkle patch" for my forehead, which worked well. Expensive, but worth it. I had a club meeting yesterday and these meetings will help my future. I would love more interactions on this page. I will respond to your comments!
