Tom: School is getting so much more stressful right now. Finals are coming up; I have projects to do before dead week. Can life just get simpler?
Sarah: I don't think it will until finals are over, but I totally understand. I am feeling the same way.
Tom: All I can do is study, eat and sleep. I hope I can make it trough.
Have you been in Tom and Sarah's conversation lately? We know how you feel: stressed, ready for summer and need a break. Well, we just would like to remind everyone that by being stressed, we all focus on our schoolwork and don't really have time to think about others. School runs our life for the next few weeks. We are here to remind you of all those people who fix our lighting, clean our bathrooms, cook the food we eat, clean our dorms, and those who work to make our campus beautiful. Join the Faith and Leadership house in thanking all those who work so hard to keep this campus picturesque and supply us with the yummy food we eat. There are many workers behind the scenes we rarely get to see. If you see one of these fantastic individuals, introduce yourself and say thank you for all the work you have done.
So, say thank you to someone today. A simple act of gratitude and recognition can make someone's day brighter. This article will only be out for a week, but you don't have to stop after a week. Make this part of your daily life.
