This semester has been incredibly challenging for me. I constantly feel like I am missing something in my classes. At this point in the semester I haven't even taken a test but I already feel like I am failing. Now I have to ask myself why do I feel this way?? Is it the weather, or am I just burnt out?? What I have decided to do is make a list of the things that I love about going to the University of Michigan - Dearborn. I am hoping that this will get me out of my funk!! 

1. I am proud to be a student of The University of Michigan - Dearborn.  Being apart of such a prestigious institution is something that I take great pride in.
2. The professors here are very well trained in their field and they are very inspiring.   
3. The campus is beautiful especially in the spring...I can't wait.
4. I don't have to stand in line at the bookstore ever again...I just order them online and pick them up.  That is amazing. 
5. There are so many student activities...I am not able to be as involved but I take advantage of the bake sales.  It is also great to see so many students involved on campus.
6. I have a love / hate relationship with the shuttle.  When the planets align and everything goes right the shuttle is an awesome asset.  Even when I miss it or it's too full, I get to meet some really great people and we can complain together...Good Times!! 
7. As a student I get a 20% discount at the Henry Ford Estate...I love the Pool Restaurant!!
8. No matter what I need to research I can go to the library and someone will help me find what I am looking for.  Shout out to the Research Center!!   

I could go on and on about how much I enjoy attending this university, but I am starting to feel inspired so I am going to focus that energy on homework.  

Have a GREAT day!!
