10 Reasons Why the Past Week was the Best Week Ever for UK Students

As University of Kentucky students, we know we’ve got it going on, but this past week being a UK student was the best thing to be. Here’s a look at the 10 best things that happened to UK students this past week in no particular order.


1. UK Basketball beating Tennessee.

UK students thrive off of basketball victories and this week was no different. With a 66-48 victory over Tennessee, UK students realized that 26-0 looks great on this team!

2. Snow Day Number One.

UK rarely closes and after many UK students were tuckered out from DanceBlue, Monday’s snow day was celebrated by all.

3. Snow Day Number Two.

Things started to get real when President Eli Capilouto canceled class AGAIN on Tuesday!

4. Professors Canceling Class on Wednesday.

Okay, so Cap wasn’t into an entire week off of school, but it turns out the majority of our professors were down with the idea.

5. Snow Day Number Three.

STOP. IT. How did we get so lucky?

6. Snow Day Number Four.

Enough said.

7. DanceBlue.

Most would agree that DanceBlue was the highlight of the past week and this year DanceBlue raised $1,615,057.18 on behalf of the DanceBlue Kentucky Children’s Hospital Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Clinic.


8. Galentine’s Day/Valentine’s Day.

In other words: so much candy, fun and love. How great!

9. 50 Shades of Grey.

The pro 50 Shade-ers were ecstatic to see the film and get their Christian Grey fix while the anti-50 Shade-ers don’t have to hear about 50 Shades anymore. It’s win-win!

10. UK Basketball beating Auburn.

Surprise! They won again. Make that 27-0.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.

We all have a love hate relationship with winter, lets be real here. The snow makes people forget how to drive, its cold, the roads are bad, and chances are, you will be spending a lot more money than you do during the other months of the year. If you’re from the Midwest, it seems to be that winter lasts for what feels like forever. But despite the struggles that winter brings, there are so many things to love about it.

It happens to all of us, the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas the catch up with you.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.
