This time of year can be hectic for many people. It can be especially stressful for college students this time of year. During the month of December, finals for classes approach and require a lot of time for studying. Also, with the holiday season approaching, students might also have to spend time purchasing gifts for family members and friends. Many students either work part time or participate in sports. With the several different things going on during the month of December, this can cause a lot of stress on students. Right now I would say I am a little stressed because I have finals coming up next week in my English, Biology, and Book of Mormon classes, I have a paper I have to finish for my English class, I am leaving to California for Christmas break on Tuesday night, and I am also moving after this semester which means I’ll need to pack up all of my belongings. Although I am stressed, I have several friends that I believe are more stressed than me. I believe my friend Greg Barrett is much more stressed than me. I believe he is more stressed than me mainly because he is taking Calculus this semester. Every time I talk to Greg, he is either doing Calculus homework or studying for a Calculus exam. Besides Calculus, he is taking history, geology, and Spanish. Greg has a much tougher schedule than me. Because Greg is so stressed, I decided I would do something nice for him. I know how much Greg likes food so I decided to invite him over for dinner. Last night I made a tri-tip steak dinner with pasta and invited him to my apartment to eat. We had a good dinner and I’m glad I was able to do something nice for a good friend. I hope in some way I was able to relieve a little bit of stress from him by serving him in this way.
