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.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
