WELLNESS WEDNESDAY: 5 Things to be Happy About Right Now

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at USF chapter.

It’s the middle of the semester. As my professor, Wayne Garcia, so eloquently put it, we are in the middle of the tunnel. We can’t see where we started in the beginning of the semester, and we can’t see the end. Assignments, projects and exams are taking over our lives and, more disconcertingly, our sanity. It’s important to keep a clear mind and to be happy, so here I present you with five things you can be happy about right now.

1.       Cooler weather is approaching.

After a long, sweltering, sweat-inducing summer, the weather is finally changing and the temperature is starting to drop. Soak up this gorgeous weather and grab some fresh air. Walk outside, feel the sun and air on your skin. I promise you’ll feel better if you do!

2.       Pumpkin spice everything!

With the cooler weather comes pumpkin-flavored everything! Coffee, cookies, pastries, ice cream and candles. Chowing down on some of your favorite pumpkin spice treats is sure to make you feel all warm inside.

3.       You are already more than halfway through the semester.

There’s only about six weeks until the end of the semester. You are more than halfway there. The end of this seemingly endless tunnel is almost here. You got this, girl. You can do this!

4.       Christmas products are on store shelves.

Walmart and Target are already selling Christmas items! The magical holiday season is right around the corner! I can hear the bells jingling.

5.       Thanksgiving is around the corner.

Turkey, stuffing and pies, oh my! In one month you will be shoveling some of the most delicious food into your mouth while being surrounded by your family and friends.

Hey there! My name is Samantha Stern and I'm a graduating senior of mass communication with a concentration on magazine journalism at the University of South Florida. I've been writing for Her Campus USF since January 2013 and this semester I was appointed editor-in-chief of the online publication. Life is a stressful thing and I want to provide a means of escape and self- improvement for young women, as well as for myself, by writing fun, engaging and useful content accessible anytime and anywhere via the internet.My ultimate goal is to empower women in their 20's. Women are hungry for everyday life advice. They crave tips for achieving the ideal in money, intelligence, beauty, fashion, health and lifestyle. I will satiate their informational appetite and, more importantly, help them become their outright best by writing fun and practical content relevant to the modern 20-something.When I'm not writing you can find me reading magazines (duh!) and books, taking long, hot baths and exploring local haunts with friends and family.Feel free to follow we on Twitter @samantha__stern or check out my resume and portfolio by clicking here.
