Aloha, congratulations on becoming a new student once again, and welcome to the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa. The New Student Orientation is just the first step of many you will take while at UH. Whether you have arrived with a purpose or arrived with no idea of what you want to pursue, we have professors, faculty and other students who will help you make a decision. Make sure you keep up to date with your academic dates (pg. 11) and requirements (pg. 17). If you need additional help, be sure to walk through the Queen Lili‘uokalani Center for Student Services (QLC), where many offices are open to all students. You might want to know what your UH ID card can get you, and what meal plans are (pg. 12). Safety on campus is a priority (pg. 14) and you will want to brush up on our sports teams and theatre events (pg. 16). Hawai‘i also has a robust food scene (pg. 34), but the on-campus food is more accessible (pg. 22). Learn how to manage your finances and make the decision between getting a job or applying for an internship (pg. 38). Get your guide to TheBus and the must-have apps for new students (pg. 28). As with any college experience, no matter if you are here in Hawai‘i or studying abroad, it is what you make of it. Pursue your passions, eat your heart out and discover the very best of you. From all of us here at Ka Leo, welcome to Mānoa, and always #useyourvoice. Does that make sense? Sincerely, Spencer Oshita Editor-in-Chief, Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

COURTESY OF ROXI 

Aloha incoming undergraduates! My name is Roxie-Anne Kamoshida and as President of the Associated Students at the University of Hawai‘i (ASUH), your elected undergraduate student government, I want to officially congratulate you on choosing UH Mānoa. You have officially taken one step closer towards your journey to success! As your undergraduate student government, we represent more than 14,000 undergraduate students at UH Mānoa. We are currently in our 104th year of serving and representing students! Our senate is comprised of various senators from every college or school at our University. It is our job as well as passion to enrich the college experience for students by providing scholarships and funding for student organizations, planning events to create a fun and inclusive campus environment, and most importantly advocating for you! We represent YOU as the student voice. I’m personally passionate about the student voice and ensuring that you are heard across all levels of decision-making on campus, whether that be decisions made by the top administrators on campus or various student issues that affect us daily. I want to assure you that we as a student government at large are passionate about representing you. If you are interested in getting involved in ASUH or have any questions/concerns, feel free to contact me via email or come by our ASUH office located at Campus Center 211A. Lastly, as a 4th year undergraduate student, I would like to say this, “Get things done.” I once read a quote that said, “some people dream of success while others wake up and work hard at it.” With that being said, I want to see each and everyone of you be proactive and work hard towards your success! Have a wonderful 4 years and welcome to the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa!

Aloha and welcome to the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa, a 320-acre campus in the heart of beautiful Mānoa Valley. As the flagship campus within the University of Hawai‘i System, UH Mānoa is a world-class institution where a unique geographic location combines with a rich cultural heritage to enable students to meet peers from around the world and gain insight into their lives and cultures.

UH Mānoa is a major public research institution that has earned national and international recognition. We are home base to critical research enterprises that collectively serve as a key economic generator for the state. Generating more than $1 million per day through partnerships with other UH institutions, local businesses, national and international entities, and government agencies, this productive academic enterprise will continue to grow. UH Mānoa is also dedicated to grounding the campus in the traditional values of the Native Hawaiian culture and helping students to find their individual academic passions in life and ultimately become prepared to pursue their callings.

THE UH VIP CARD A GUIDE TO THE USES OF YOUR UH ID CARD

You have finally enrolled in UH Mānoa and acquired your UH ID card. However, you may not realize your UH Mānoa ID card is more than just a card that identifies you as a student. It also is the key to unlocking many benefits that you, as a student, may be interested in.

KIMBERLEE SPEAKMAN / MANAGING EDITOR

ACCESS TO LIBRARIES AND FACILITIES

DISCOUNTS

Your UH ID gives you borrowing privileges at both of the campus libraries, Hamilton and Sinclair, and access to certain facilities within the libraries such as the Wong Audiovisual Center and the Reserve Room. The UH ID is also needed for students who intend to make use of Sinclair Library’s 24 hour service. Only students who present their UH ID will be able to get in to Sinclair Library after 6 p.m. to study all night long.

One of the best things about your UH ID are the discounts around Campus Center and stores around O‘ahu that you may obtain. You can receive discounts for athletic tickets, movie tickets, concert tickets, theater tickets, as well as software discounts at the UH Mānoa Bookstore and discounts on many more things throughout campus. Outside of the university, restaurants like Fairwood Inn, Dragon Tea and Teddy's Bigger Burgers give student discounts. Other discounts can be found on our app, Mānoa Now.

ATHLETICS COMPLEX

U-PASS

The UH Mānoa Rec Center also requires a UH student ID in order for students to enter the rec center and use its exercise equipment. Fitness classes, equipment rentals and access to different athletics courts and complexes all require a UH ID. To check out a surfboard or a canoe, you can also use your UH ID. Students are able to get discounts for outdoor and leisure classes like paddling, surfing and swimming.

The U-Pass comes with your ID and needs to be renewed every semester. It grants you access to ride Hawai‘i’s TheBus service anywhere on the island for free. For those new to the island, the U-Pass is your chance to explore the entire island and get free transportation. See page 28 for speciﬁc bus routes and the campus map for bus stops.

UH MEAL PLANS HALE ALOHA AND GATEWAY CAFETERIAS

ERYN YUASA / BUSINESS EDITOR

For students who dorm, meal plans are an essential part of the experience. Unless you are living in on-campus apartments, you are required to participate in one of the meal plan options. Each plan consists of a special number of “meals” and “points” that you can spend during the week or semester. There are ﬁve different meal plan options, ranging from the Prime 19, which entitles you to 19 meals a week and $100 retail points, to the Apartment

Club, which gives you 50 meal swipes and $75 retail points a semester. For every meal plan except the Apartment Club, meals last from Sunday morning to midnight Saturday, and they do not carry over through the next week. Points, however, can be spent at any time during the semester, and if you don’t use all of them, they can transfer to the following semester if you still choose to have a meal plan. Meal plans are tracked by your student ID.

Located next to the main dorms on campus, Hale Aloha and Gateway cafeterias offer buffet style meals three times a day. One meal swipe will get you into the cafeteria, and from there, it is all you can eat ice cream and fries until closing. The cafeterias have their own staple foods that you will always ﬁnd, including pizza, hamburgers, grilled cheese and salads, but switch up the main dining options every day. If you want to take your food to go, you can do so for an additional 50 cents. Families and friends who do not have a meal plan can join in on the fun for $12 a person. Thursday nights are “Premium Nights” at Hale Aloha and each meal will get you a ticket to choose a main entrée that’s more premium, such as steak or ﬁsh.

CAMPUS CENTER

THE MARKET

This is one of the main hubs for student dining. The campus center food court serves a variety of dishes ranging from salads to burgers and everything in between. Every meal that you spend outside of the cafeteria is worth $5.50. You cannot split meals in terms of their worth. That means if you buy a sandwich that cost $5.50, that’s one full meal. However, if your sandwich costs $6.50, you can use one meal for $5.50, and have a remaining balance to pay of $1. That is where meal points come in, but you are also able to pay with cash or credit card. You will also ﬁnd Jamba Juice, Starbucks, Simply to Go, Pizza Hut and Stir Fresh nearby, with Ba-Le just a short walk away. All of these places accept meals and points as payment types.

Located right next to the Hale Noelani apartments, The Market is an essential part of any student’s diet when they have a meal plan. The Market is like a grocery store for students, and is open until midnight every night. You can often ﬁnd long lines of students outside on Saturday nights, trying to spend their leftover meals so they don’t go to waste at the end of the night.

LEADERS OF MĀNOA Here are the people you will hear about a lot. DAVID LASSNER UH SYSTEM PRESIDENT

SUMMARY Before becoming the 15th head executive of the state’s higher education system, Lassner served as its vice president for information technology and chief information officer.

ROBERT BLEY-VROMAN UH MĀNOA INTERIM CHANCELLOR

SUMMARY Since Apple’s firing, Bley-Vroman has been serving as the Mānoa campus’ head honcho. He had previously served as the dean of the College of Languages, Linguistics and Literature.

NICK ROLOVICH HEAD FOOTBALL COACH

SUMMARY Rolovich is the current Head Coach of the Rainbow Warrior football team, replacing fired coach Norm Chow. He previously was a record-setting quarterback for the Warriors and served as an assistant coach with the team before leaving to be the Nevada Wolf Pack’s offensive coordinator.

CONTROVERSY In 2014, Lassner fired former UH Mānoa Chancellor Tom Apple, which sparked protests and rallies from students who believed Apple was a good chancellor. Months later, the Mānoa Faculty Senate voted to censure Lassner, expressing their disapproval of the firing.

ACHIEVEMENTS Bley-Vroman has published 32 papers on the subject of linguistics, his field of study, and participated in many conferences on the subject, according to his curriculum vitae. He also plans to re-establish the campus ombuds office, a place where members of the UH Mānoa community can informally address any of their concerns.

CONTROVERSY Bley-Vroman has defended the university's decision to fire former basketball coach Gib Arnold, whose firing led to a financial settlement.

ACHIEVEMENTS Rolovich is known for being an excellent offensive coordinator, having brought the Wolf Pack to be the eighth best offensive team and coaching four quarterbacks currently on professional rosters. He helped the Wolf Pack to bowl eligibility in three of the four seasons he was with them, and aided them in achieving 29.2 points per game, becoming the fourth highest scoring team in the Mountain West Conference.

CONTROVERSY As he is only beginning his tenure, there is not much to be said. Many are excited for his leadership, but his performance as head football coach remains to be seen.

A guide to campus security services and safety practices.

Emergency Call Boxes are one option for students to reach DPS to get the help they need.

Studying at the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa affords unique opportunities, but for some, part of the experience can be marred by their victimization in an on-campus crime. Here are some tips to make your Mānoa experience safer. DPS SERVICES

The university’s Department of Public Safety (DPS) is in charge of

campus security. DPS patrols the university’s grounds and officers can be dispatched anywhere on campus 24/7. Walking back to your dorm or bus stop at night can be dangerous. While it is advised to walk with at least one other person, stay in welllit areas or take the campus shuttle, DPS understands that doing so can sometimes be difficult. That is why it provides both walking and vehicle escort services to and from any point on campus from dusk to

As the state’s high education flagship campus and one of the nation’s biggest spenders in research dollars, the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa makes waves in local and national news. To that extent, here is a helpful rundown of three people you are likely to see in the news.

ACHIEVEMENTS Lassner has previously led a statewide, federally-funded project to interconnect public schools, libraries and campuses on six Hawaiian islands with fiber-optic cables. He has received multiple awards from the National Science Foundation for his work on research and education cyberinfrastructure and networking.

dawn. Call them at 956-SAFE (7233) during this time, and an escort will be dispatched to your location. Escorts are students employees who wear yellow shirts. However, if you find yourself in danger while walking on campus, there are Emergency Call Boxes scattered around campus. They can be easily identified by their bright blue light and color. To use them, you need only pick up the receiver (on older boxes) or press a button (on newer boxes). Even if you are

unable to speak or identify your location, DPS will be able to identify where you are calling from. DPS also wants you to help them be their eyes and ears. If you have a tip for them, you can fill out a form on their website. If there is an issue requiring immediate attention, call them at 956-6911 and call 9-1-1. As with many things, there’s an app for UH Mānoa campus safety. It’s called “Rave Guardian” and is available on the App Store and Play Store. It features a way to text a tip and photo to DPS, as well as two one-click buttons to easily call them and 9-1-1. The app also provides a safety timer, which utilizes location services to determine if you have reached your destination within the amount of time you’ve allotted. If you do not, the app sends out an alert to designated individuals. Finally, DPS provides safety and wellness presentations to teach safe practices and encourage precautionary measures. They also hold active shooter awareness and response training to instruct the campus community on what to do to minimize risk and procedures to follow.

DPS cannot stop every crime that occurs on campus. The Mānoa campus is known for frequent moped and bike thefts. For many of these incidents, however, the mopeds were

insufficiently secured or parked in unsafe areas. To reduce the risk, it is advised to park mopeds and bikes in designated areas such as bike racks. It is also important that the owner of the vehicle securely chains it to an immovable, secured object, even when leaving for a short amount of time. There have been past instances where mopeds are stolen within timeframes as short as 15 minutes. For bikes specifically, secure both wheels with a wire lock and use a U-lock to secure the frame to the bike rack. UH Mānoa provides many places around campus to park bikes and mopeds. A map of locations can be found on the UH Mānoa Commuter Services website. Students can also register for free, secure bike cage parking located in the Stan Sheriff Center parking lot. This cage is card-access only and is monitored by surveillance cameras. It is also important to lock your dorms, no matter how quickly you will be returning. The campus is mostly safe, though because anyone can come and go, there have been instances where students would return to their dorms, only to find evidence attempted forced entry. Stay aware of your surroundings and be prudent in your actions, taking the necessary precautions to make your college experience the safest it can be. Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

INTRO TO UH ATHLETICS A guide to your new school’s athletic department SOURCE: FILE PHOTOS 

The Stan Sheriff Center is host to many of our home games. CHRISTIAN SHIMABUKU ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

With no professional teams in the entire state, Hawai‘i's biggest athletic show in town are the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa's Rainbow Warriors and Rainbow Wahine. WARRIORS AND WAHINE

There are 21 teams that represent the UH Mānoa athletics department. It consists of 12 women’s teams (Rainbow Wahine), seven men’s

teams (Rainbow Warriors) and two coed teams. The university has won four national championships with three in women’s volleyball (1982, 1983, 1987) and one in sailing (2004). Although the men’s volleyball team won the NCAA national championship in 2002, the title was vacated because of use of a player with professional experience. THE LEADERS

Athletics director David Matlin

is entering his second year at the helm. The 1997 MBA graduate from UH Mānoa’s Shidler College of Business faces a financial challenge for the upcoming year. In 2015, the athletic department’s debt was reported to be north of $4 million. Meanwhile, on the field, Nick Rolovich enters his first season as the coach of the UH football team. Rolovich played quarterback for the Rainbow Warriors from 2000 to 2001, returned as a student assistant from 2003 to 2004, and was

the quarterbacks coach and worked his way up to offensive coordinator from 2008 to 2011. After four seasons as Nevada’s offensive coordinator, he returns to his alma mater where he will try to give UH its first winning season since 2010. On the basketball court, Eran Ganot’s first season as the men’s head coach was a major success. Finishing with a record of 28-6, the ‘Bows earned their first NCAA tournament win in school history, with 77-66 win in Cal before falling to Maryland

73-60 in the second round. Ganot’s second year will be an uphill battle since the ‘Bows are banned from postseason play for the 2016-2017 season, stemming from sanctions from former head coach Gib Arnold, the program’s head coach from 2010-2014. The reason for the sanctions include, but are not limited to, impermissible benefits for players such as free iPads as well as lying to NCAA investigators. The women’s basketball team is trending upwards and has been ever since head coach Laura Beeman took over in 2012. The Rainbow Wahine have reached the postseason in each of her four years. The ‘Bows reached the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1998 during the 2015-2016 season, falling to UCLA 66-50 in the first round. Women’s volleyball coach Dave Shoji has been a consistency during his career at UH. In 2015, the Rainbow Wahine went 29-2 in their 40th consecutive regular season with an appearance in the Elite Eight, falling to Minnesota in four sets. WHERE CAN YOU CATCH A GAME?

With the exception of football, every UH home sporting event can be caught on campus. Not to worry, however. There is a bus that takes students directly to Aloha Stadium and back to campus on game day. All games are free of charge as long as you have a valid UH ID card.

HOW TO CONQUER YOUR GEN-ED CLASSES

KEVIN HARRISON / ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

General Education (GE) classes are the bane of many college students’ existence. You have seen them on your STAR and if you have an advisor, they have probably bugged you about completing them. They are a fact of college life that no one can avoid, so here is a breakdown of how they work and what you can do to conquer them.

OTHER REQUIREMENTS

WHAT DO THE LETTERS MEAN? The ﬁrst challenge some people might have with completing their GE classes is understanding what they are and what their abbreviations are. Below are the abbreviations for the classes you need and how they are abbreviated on the registration website and STAR.

FOUNDATIONS REQUIREMENTS

DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS

E or ETH

O or OC

Contemporary Ethical Issues. You just need one upper division course with the E or ETH designation. The Peace and Conﬂict Education Department usually offers a few ETH classes, but these classes can also be hard to ﬁnd, and a class that was an ETH one semester may not be in another one.

Oral Communication. You need one upper division course for this requirement, and it is much like the ETH course in that they can be hard to ﬁnd and a class that was OC one semester may not be in another. Given their designation, OC classes tend to involve giving a few presentations.

DB/P/Y

H or HAP

Written Communication. This is your English 100 class.

Biological science, physical science and lab. You need to take all three classes, but you only need a lab for one of them. If you are not a science person, taking any DB or DP class marked 100 or 101 is usually designed for non-majors and it will avoid getting super technical.

Hawaiian, Asian and/or Paciﬁc Issues. You need one course at any level and a popular course is Hawaiian Studies 107 or Paciﬁc Island Studies 108.

Symbolic Reasoning. This is typically your math class, but other departments may offer alternatives. Check the appropriate class listings or your Graduation Pathway tab on STAR. FGA/B/C

Global and Multicultural Perspective. You need two classes and each has to be a different letter (e.g. one FGC and one FGB). History 151 and 152, Anthropology 152, Political Science 150 and Religion 150 are all good choices for this requirement.

DS Social Sciences. You need two social sciences classes from two different departments (e.g. you can’t take two psychology classes). The Economics Department is known for having teachers with incoherent accents, so if that is not something you are good with, stick with political science, sociology or psychology.

HSL Hawaiian or Second Language. Unless you are in a speciﬁc college, everyone needs four semesters of the same second language of their choosing. Consult your department for speciﬁc language requirements.

W OR WI Writing Intensive. You need ﬁve of these classes, two of which need to be upper division. The English Department may be your best bet, but many history classes are also WI. The social sciences are also good places to go for WI credit.

DA/H/L Arts, Humanities and Literature. Similar to the FG requirements, you need two classes and each has to be a different letter (e.g. one DH and one DA). There are a lot of options for this that include most history, english and art classes. Requirements vary between major, check to make sure you fulﬁl the right ones.

GE classes can be an opportunity to get out of your department, broaden your horizons and dabble in other subjects. If you take the time to ﬁnd a class that you might enjoy, the GE requirement can be more bearable. If GE is something you really do not

want to deal with, you might want to consider taking as many as you can over the summer. The classes are shorter and it will free up your schedule during the regular school year.

Looking for a challenge? Welcome to the Honors Program KEVIN HARRISON ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

Whether you are a new student or a transfer, your ﬁrst few months here at the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa can be a time to enroll in some of the different programs offered on campus. One of those programs, the Honors Program, is designed for high-achieving students who work, want to be challenged or just want the distinction of graduating with honors one day. If you have been invited, all you need to do is submit a statement of purpose and a letter of recommendation. If you have not been invited, just complete the online application, have a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher, have someone ﬁll out a recommendation form and obtain departmental approval if you plan on enrolling in the program. WHY JOIN?

All honors students get priorHONORS PROGRAM AT UH MĀNOA / FACEBOOK  ity registration. It varies from class Honors students are given special recognition at their graduation ceremony. standing to class standing, but gen-

erally, you will be able to register at least a few hours before your peers. You also get the opportunity to take honors classes which tend to be smaller, discussion-based classes. They are supposed to be harder, but the experience, like many classes, will likely depend on the instructor. The Honors Program also reserves the top two to three ﬂoors of the Hale Lokelani tower that are only for honors students. Lastly, if you complete and pass the honors thesis, you get a stole at graduation and the distinction of graduating with honors. The honors thesis is either a research paper, creative endeavor or a portfolio of works that a student completes during their senior year in Honors. Several departments have tracks in which you can complete a project for both the department and the Honors Program. If taking harder classes and a thesis are not things you are interested in, the Honors Program may not be for you. If you like hard work,

research and the idea of graduating with honors, this program may be worth a look. MORE INFO

FRESHMAN FITNESS KEEPING FIT DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR

BROOKE ALCURAN / OPINIONS EDITOR

A 2012 study found that 70 percent of American college students gained weight from their freshman year to their graduation. Late night snacking, sleepless nights at Sinclair Library and even skipping meals are all probable causes of gaining weight during your time at UH Mānoa. Nevertheless, keeping motivated to work out can help you keep the pounds off while reducing stress from coursework.

JOIN STUDENT RECREATION SERVICES’ FREE FITNESS CLASSES

CHECK OUT THE WARRIOR RECREATION CENTER The Warrior Recreation Center (WRC) opened its doors in 2014 and is one of the best recreational facilities you have free access to using your UH ID card. Swiping your ID through the entrance will give you access to stair masters, ellipticals, tread climbers, treadmills, spin bikes, two basketball courts that are easily convertible to volleyball courts, two state-of-the-art rock climbing simulators called "SkyWall" and so much more. The first floor exclusively features Star Trac weight equipment that can work all parts of your body. If you enjoy heavy weightlifting, upstairs are four half racks with an Olympic platform and dumbbells ranging from five pounds to 125 pounds. If you enjoy running but still are not used to the Hawaiian humidity, there is a three-lane indoor running track that overlooks the basketball courts upstairs.

If you are not too sure of proper exercises, lifting weights or just aren’t into running on a treadmill, ﬁtness classes may be the answer for you. Student Recreation Services hosts free classes in the Warrior Recreation Center run by students just like you. Some involve dancing, learning to use a kettlebell or even boxing. The classes are great for those who are especially interested in cardio training.

04 BUTT LIFTS

WORK OUT IN YOUR DORM

3 SETS OF 20

Sometimes you just do not feel like leaving your dorm room, but still want to get in a good workout. With a yoga mat, a set of resistance bands, a bosu ball or a yoga ball and a few small weights, you can achieve gym results without leaving your room. Here is one example of an at-dorm workout using all of the equipment above.

For this exercise you will need a bosu ball (to support your neck) and a small weight (to add resistance). You can choose not to use the bosu ball. Sit with your butt on the ﬂoor and lean back onto the bosu ball. Hold your weights on top of your hips. Thrust your hip straight up without overextending and arching your back and squeeze your butt. Return to the starting position to complete one rep.

06 SKATERS

BICEP CURLS

3 SETS OF 30 JUMPS, OR 15 EACH LEG

3 SETS OF 15

Starting in a squatting position on one leg, jump out towards the side opposite your squatted leg and land in the same one-legged squatting position on the other leg. Repeat motion jumping back onto the ﬁrst leg and into a squatted position.

Stand with both feet on top of a resistance band and hold both handles. Start with your arms down and then raise your forearms up in front of you. Keep your elbows stationary and right against the side of your body.

08 YOGA BALL PLANKS

LUNGES WITH RESISTANCE BANDS 3 SETS OF 10 ON EACH LEG

3 SETS OF 1 MINUTE

Place your elbows on top of the yoga ball and go into a plank position with your feet on the ground, your head and shoulders above the ball and your body straight (like a plank). Stay in this position keeping your hips tucked in and your abs squeezed for one minute.

Stand with one foot in front of the other. Holding the resistance band up on both ends, place your front foot at the center of the band. Hold the handles of the resistance band above your shoulders and lower into a lunge position by lowering your front knee into a 90-degree angle. Make sure your knee does not extend past the toes of your front foot. Complete one rep by standing in the beginning position.

09 TRICEP EXTENSIONS 3 SETS OF 15 ON EACH ARM

This exercise starts similarly to the lunges with resistance bands exercise, but place the center of your back foot. Raise the elbow on the same side as your back leg above your head keeping your forearm behind your head. Without moving your elbow, extend your arm until it is straight. Repeat and then switch to the next arm.

SINCLAIR LIBRARY SECOND FLOOR BALCONY Need a calming study space for ﬁnals? The Sinclair Library second ﬂoor balcony provides a spectacular view of the city buildings as well as tables, chairs and outlets for students to use. It is also an open balcony, so you will feel cool breezes as you settle down to study. When you need a break, you can always look up from your books to study the sun casting a luminescent light on many of the city’s high-rises.

TOP OF SAUNDERS

KRAUSS DUCK POND

The top ﬂoor of Saunders Hall is another great place to sit and have lunch or study. What makes the top ﬂoor of this place so great is that it has access to chairs and tables that students may utilize. Students may choose to sit closer to the southern side of Saunders Hall to see a view of the city or they may choose to sit on the northern side of the building for mountain views overlooking the Sustainability Courtyard.

Ducks galore! UH Mānoa has a duck pond located in Krauss Hall just off of Legacy Pathway. Students can come here to watch the creatures as they ﬂy and ﬂap around in a small pond area surrounded by colorful plants and trees. It is a calming area for students who just want to get away and look at some ducks.

TOP OF HAWAI‘I INST. OF GEOPHYSICS With arguably one of the most beautiful views on campus, the top ﬂoor of the Hawai‘i Institute of Geophysics behind the Sustainability Courtyard is a great place to get away from the stress of class and relax for a bit. Although it lacks tables and chairs and only has a small space to work with, this spot can provide students with views of the great mountains surrounding Mānoa Valley to their left and views of the city to their right. It’s also a great place to cool down, as the wind blows quite strongly from up there.

ZEN GARDEN The Zen Garden located behind Jefferson Hall is a nice green open space complete with a small waterfall and plenty of space for students to sit and enjoy peace. Beyond the waterfall, there is a small pond ﬁlled with ﬁsh as well. Students may walk around to the other side of the pond or even hop across the rocks at their own risk to get access to more open spaces. Beyond the garden, there is a view of a Mānoa river and more trees at the foot of the valley. It is a great place for students who want to be immersed in nature.

UH Mānoa’s best meals on wheels

KIMBERLEE SPEAKMAN / MANAGING EDITOR

A guide to UH Mānoa’s food trucks across campus.

One of the best things about UH Mānoa is that it offers students a large variety of food options from around the world, as well as both vegan and non-vegan options. Many of these food choices come in the form of food trucks throughout the university. For those who want to explore the kinds of food varieties the campus has, here is a guide to the best food trucks around campus and what they can offer.

SOURCE: NAT N. / YELP

TOKO EXPRESS

SOURCE: FILE PHOTO

Holmes Hall (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) Krauss Hall (Tuesday, Thursday), 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. Good Japanese cuisine is hard to come by. Luckily “Toko Express” has its sushi selections and assorted bentos. From California rolls to Spicy Tuna Dynamite rolls, “Toko Express” is your one stop express for sushi on campus. They also have delicious bentos with a choice of karaage chicken, teriyaki chicken, chicken katsu and furikake chicken. “Toko Express” also serves hot Tokoname tea, which is a “fresh brewed plantation style tea.”

GREEN GARDEN Sustainability Courtyard Monday - Friday, 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. Looking for a vegan or gluten free lunch option? Check out the Sustainability Courtyard’s “Green Garden” food truck. They offer garden burgers made with a tasty twist in ingredients. For example instead of using mayonnaise, they use coconut mayonnaise in their burgers and use their own specialized ketchup as well. They also have a wide array of sides, snacks and sweets. Some favorites include the Organic Home Style Potato, Homestyle Scone and Banana Chia Choco Brownie.

DA SPOT

SOURCE: FILE PHOTO

Location: Sustainability Courtyard Monday - Friday, 8:30 a.m. - 3 p.m. “Da Spot” is one of two choices of vegan food trucks on campus and it is the choice for those looking to get an original smoothie made with local fruits and ingredients. Offering 27 different smoothie options and even the opportunity to create your own smoothie, “Da Spot” is the best spot for trying out new smoothie recipes with ingredients such as lilikoi, lychee, haupia, guava and much more. “Da Spot” serves various lunch vegan combos with curry and other vegetable recipes. They also sell really good acai bowls with strawberries, bananas and kiwis.

UAHI ISLAND GRILL East-West Road by Kennedy Theatre Monday - Friday, 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. Looking for a local style plate lunch or fresh ﬁsh? “Uahi Island Grill” has you covered. This food truck is special because it has many items on the menu that you cannot get anywhere else on campus. It is the only place on campus that you can get an Ahi Salad or Furikake Tofu Salad. “Uahi Island Grill” also sells Lilikoi Tea, which is a “must try” for newcomers to UH Mānoa.

SOURCE: FILE PHOTO

SERG’S MEXICAN CHICKEN Krauss Hall (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) Holmes Hall (Tuesday, Thursday) Monday-Friday (Holmes and Krauss Hall), 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. “Serg’s Mexican Chicken” may be the most distinguishable food truck because of its bright colors and its telltale Mexican themed music playing through the speakers. It also sells some of the most authentic and delicious Mexican food in the Mānoa area. While the food may be a little pricier compared to other food trucks on campus, you get a lot of food for your money. While there, try the Taco Salad.

LE CRÊPE CAFÉ Richardson School of Law Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. - 2 p.m. For those getting an early start and need a quick pick-me-up, chances are “Le Crêpe Café” will be your ﬁrst stop as it is located right outside the parking structure. They have different kinds of coffee choices- espresso, americano, macchiato, cappuccino or even hot teas- available. However, what they are known for is their sweet and savory crepes. They offer 11 choices of savory crepes with ingredients like mozzarella, chicken, turkey, pepperoni and spinach, which are very ﬁlling and good choices for lunch. They also have 10 sweet crepes which include sweet ingredients like Nutella, strawberries, bananas, coconut and caramel.

DO’S & DON'TS LIVING WITH A ROOMMATE

JACQUES BRUNVIL / STAFF WRITER

For many college students, living on campus provides a ﬁrst time opportunity to live away from parents. However, most living situations on college campuses require a roommate.

If you are dorming with a friend or a complete stranger, these “do’s and don’t’s” will help keep you out of trouble and make the experience just a little easier.

Dinner @ 7? YAAAAAA AAAAAAAS

DO DO

DO NOT DISTURB

COMMUNICATE

LIMIT GUESTS

STUDY AND WORK TOGETHER

There is no better way to build a relationship with your new roommate than communicating. Although our family members or close friends can read our emotional expressions, a dorm roommate will not be as intuitive. Create a list of your pet peeves and talk them out with each other. Regular and comfortable communication with your roommate will not only help create a long lasting friendship but will also make the college experience more welcoming as well.

Having guests over is unavoidable. Whether it be for a quick minute or the night, it is important to let each other know. Even if your roommate says it is okay at ﬁrst, having anyone over on a regular basis is never okay. Many people misperceive the impact it may potentially have and only creates an awkward living situation. You will most likely be eating, sleeping and working in this room so it is very important to respect each other’s space.

It is no secret and you have probably heard it a thousand times from parents: you are in college to learn, not play. Even with a difference in majors, studying and doing homework with your roommate will help keep you motivated and focused. Accountability for exams and assignments is the best way to help keep each other on track in various courses. This is also the best way to avoid a lazy routine. Sent at 10:21AM

PLAY LOUD MUSIC OR PURCHASE A TV

LIVE UNHAPPY OR UNCOMFORTABLE

If you do not have a pair of headphones, buy them before moving in and leave your speakers at home. Despite how good and relaxing you may think your music taste is, your roommate may disagree or have the same views about a different genre of music. Although many roommates may agree with sharing the costs of appliances such as a microwave or printer, a TV will only bring distraction and unnecessary noise to your space.

Our world is not perfect and it is possible to end up paired with someone who is unbearable. If this is the case, and you have tried alternatives to creating a comfortable living situation, speak with your Resident Assistant (RA) or Resident Director (RD) immediately. An uncomfortable living situation will only distract you from important studies and goals. After all, a roommate may just not be your “thing."

DO EVERYTHING WITH YOUR ROOMMATE It is okay if your roommate is the ﬁrst friend you will make during college, but you should make more friends from different backgrounds. Spending too much time with your roommate may potentially limit you from what you truly desire to do or trap you into doing things you do not want to do at all.

Dorm room or delivery? KATIE ALMEIDA / STAFF WRITER

FOUR FANTASTIC HIKES ON O‘AHU

JASMINE YI SOCIAL MEDIA EDITOR

ENJOY YOUR SUMMER WITH INCREDIBLE VIEWS.

SAFETY TIPS

CHANEL DIAS / STAFF WRITER

Going on a hike is one of the most anticipated outdoor activities people can do in Hawai‘i. They are fun, often times challenging and a great way for getting in some exercise. With breathtaking views of mountain ranges and ocean waters, the island of O‘ahu offers many choice hiking spots for tourists and locals alike. However, hiking some of these trails can be dangerous. So stay on the trail, respect the environment and have fun!

KOKO HEAD CRATER

The Ka’au Crater trail is probably one of the most exhausting hikes on the island, and is extremely challenging. At ﬁve miles round trip, this hike involves a slippery rocky trail up through the valley of a dormant volcano. With an overabundance of tropical plants and trees, as well as several waterfalls and rope-climbing segments along the way. The view from the top of the crater is one of the most extraordinary sights one could ever imagine as hikers will get an eyeful of the island from all sides. Anyone who plans to attempt this trail must be in good physical condition, wear shoes and carry food and water with them.

First off, never go alone. Plan your exit before you jump. Jump feet ﬁrst and as far out as you can. If you are jumping from higher than 20 feet, you should keep your body tight, your arms close and your feet together to break the surface tension and minimize the surface area that strikes the water ﬁrst. Jumping into the ocean: Pay attention to the tide and watch for waves. Have an experienced spotter tell you when to jump.

MĀNOA FALLS

PHOTO BY AUSTIN YOSHINO / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Are you a daredevil craving the rush of adrenaline or a fear-facer looking to get out of your comfort zone? Here are some gnarly jumps around O‘ahu to feed your need.

The Koko Head Trail of Hawai‘i Kai is considered a very intense hike which involves an incline of about 1,048 steps on an old wooden railway to the top of the summit. At more than 1,200 feet, this hike offers an incredible view of the southeastern side of the island, featuring sites such as Diamond Head, Makapu‘u Point and Hanauma Bay. “Hot and sweaty with fantastic views!” an anonymous reviewer wrote on alltrails.com. “Great workout… the calves and knees will feel it!” Hiking this trail can be physically strenuous and may not be suitable for young children and elderly people.

At 1.6 miles round trip, Mānoa Falls is one of the island’s most popular tropical trails in the Mānoa Valley mountains, with a small stream that leads to a beautiful cascading 150-foot waterfall. Due to Mānoa Valley’s reputation of receiving the most rainfall on the island, the trail offers hikers an expansive view of the ﬂora and fauna in the area, including banyan trees, guava and hundreds of bamboo. In recent years, several sites within the location were used for both television and Hollywood blockbusters, such as ABC’s popular show "Lost" and Universal Picture’s "Jurassic Park." While considered one of the easiest hikes on O‘ahu, the trail can be muddy and slippery. People are advised to wear sturdy hiking shoes before attempting it. “Do this hike,” a female reviewer from Norwalk, CA wrote on Yelp.com. “Don’t question it. You won’t regret it!”

KA’AU CRATER

FOR THE JUMP-JUNKIES WAIMEA BAY

Jumping into freshwater: Make sure you don’t have any open cuts, as leptospirosis bacteria may be present in the water. Most importantly, if you step up to the edge and start to panic, remember that you do not have to jump. Do not let anyone pressure you into something you don’t want to do.

PHOTO BY REESE KATO / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

The famous rock stands about 20 feet tall, though there are shorter ledges around the rock as well. This is a hotspot throughout the year, but you will deﬁnitely see a crowd of people hanging up there during the summer when the swells are low on the North Shore. With an easy climb and an easy exit, this jump is great for anyone. It may be intimidating to jump with so many people watching, but they are generally very friendly and supportive.

KAPENA FALLS Kapena Falls is located in Nu‘uanu, right off the Pali Highway. You do not have to work hard to get here as the trail is not long or much of a hike at all. The waterfall itself is a good 20-30 feet high. There are smaller ledges to jump from, around 10-15 feet and a higher, 35-foot jump from the very top.

SPITTING CAVES

DON’T JUST STEP OUT OF YOUR COMFORT-ZONE, JUMP OUT OF IT. This spot near Koko Kai Beach is great for all levels of experience when the tide is low. You can run into your 15-20-foot jump and there is a ladder you can use to climb back. China Walls is also a popular hangout spot to just picnic on the rocks while watching surfers. Try not to get caught on the wall when the surf's up as the waves can take you out.

CHINA WALLS

Very experienced jumpers might check out this 60-foot drop into the ocean. With a sick view of the deep blue, you might check it out just to watch the jumpers or the waves crash up on the cliffs. Timing your jump is very important and even strong swimmers should beware of the currents and waves here. People have been reportedly pulled out to sea and pushed into the cave below.

LA‘IE POINT

PALI PUKA

For those who are looking to do a short hike, then the Pali Puka Trail is the perfect place to start. Beginning from the base of the Pali Lookout, this exhilarating trail leads along a narrow ridgeline along the Ko’olau Mountains, with a 5-foot size hole (puka) near the top of the base. The rewarding view of Windward side from the hole is incredible. However, this trail can be dangerous due to its steep climb along the mountain edge and strong wind currents. Take special care when interacting around the hole at the top of the climb.

PHOTO BY AUSTIN YOSHINO / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

You may remember the scene from “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” where Mila Kunis and Jason Segel jump into the ocean and share a kiss. This 30-45-foot jump is beautiful, but you should probably take more caution than they did. The current here can pull or push you, so paying attention to the tide and the waves is important. Deﬁnitely don’t do what Segel did.

DISCLAIMER: Cliff jumping is a dangerous activity and should be done at one’s own risk and with one’s own abilities in mind. Weather conditions, tides and currents can increase the risk of injuries and death and many of these jumps do have a history.

PHOTO BY AUSTIN YOSHINO / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

MAUNAWILI FALLS

At the end of the Maunawili Trail in Kailua is a deep pool with a small, 20-foot waterfall. You’ll have to swim across the small pool and hoist yourself up to reach the easiest jump, about 10 feet high. After the hike, the cold water will feel refreshing and welcome. There are two or three other ledges ranging from 30-40 feet high that you can jump from if you dare to climb up the sides of the waterfall. PHOTO BY KENT NISHIMURA / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

THE O‘AHU MUSIC SCENE‘

DIVERSE AND TIGHT-KNIT, THE O‘AHU MUSIC SCENE CATERS TO ALL GENRES

REESE KATO / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

The Bougies are a great local pop-punk band. KEVIN ALLEN FEATURES EDITOR

On the outset, O‘ahu may seem like it is all Braddah Iz and Don Ho, however our little rock has a thriving indie music scene that spans all genres; we rarely see mainstream bands visiting our island. The band Completely Insane are true to their name. The ska-punk group plays energetic shows that includes but are not limited to: moshpits, fedoras, awkward midset stand up acts and brass. The

band formed in 2010 and have gotten their niche down to a science, covering songs from groups like Streetlight Manifesto to hype their crowds up to a dangerous degree. If you are looking to get sweaty and weird, catch a set by Completely Insane. O‘ahu’s indie pop punk scene has a smattering of bands with equal talent, however a standout group goes by the name of T.V Microwave. The foursome has released two albums onto their bandcamp, keeping their sound lo-ﬁ and dis-

tressed. If you are looking for manic guitar and gang vocals, check out T.V Microwave. Other notable local bands in the pop-punk genre include Poncho, The Bougies and The Anime Club. If you are in the mood for folk, Foreseeable Futures is the band for you. This adorable acoustic folk couple have spent the majority of their lives in the musical stratosphere, and released their debut album “Stories” late last year. Commonly found playing shows in Anna O’Brians, Downbeat Diner and

Fresh Cafe, it is easy to catch a set and get immersed in some good old folk tunes. Ivory City is one of O‘ahu’s exemplary indie-pop groups who can produce a wall of noise with their distorted guitars, pop beats and striking vocals. Relatively new to the scene, Ivory City got their start in 2014 and have been making waves in the indie scene with their distinct sound. The band has yet to release a debut album and only has a handful of original songs, however they are deﬁnitely worth

keeping an eye on. A conversation about the O‘ahu music scene would be incomplete without commenting on the reggae aspect. Rebel Souljahz have a national following and are widely considered to be one of the more successful reggae bands on the island. Although Rebel Souljahz are currently on a worldwide tour, they can often be found playing in venues across O‘ahu during their offseason, crooning their hit single “Darling Angel.” Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

Don't be afraid to catch a wave. KEVIN ALLEN FEATURES EDITOR

Surfers do not start out getting barreled by 8 ft. waves at Pipeline, they get their start on small, long rides found at a variety of breaks across O‘ahu. Located just out from Diamond Head Beach Park, the Diamond Head surf spot offers some great waves that provide beginners with long rides, perfect for honing your bal-

ance. Another perk of the spot is that the paddle out is on the longer side, which may sound bad at ﬁrst will ultimately help develop vital paddling muscles needed for everyday surfing use. The spot does get crowded on days with solid conditions so be wary to look both ways before taking off on a wave. Ala Moana Bowls is a short paddle out from the Magic Island parking area and will be on your left hand

side when facing the beach. A step up from Diamond Head, Ala Moana Bowls offers waves with well-formed walls and fun, albeit short rides. Crowds at Bowls vary on the time of day, with the spot being emptier around the early afternoon and packed anywhere between 4pm 7pm. Be wary of low-tide sessions as the spot tends to get pretty shallow. If you ﬁnd yourself on the North Shore, Sunset Beach can offer up

some exciting walls and fun drops. Although the spot is dead flat over summer, as most spots tend to be on the North Shore, Sunset can provide novice surfers with waves that form quite quickly. Taking off late on waves provides long, sketchy drops that will either be a blast or end with you six feet under. Either way, it is an essential skill for any surfer to have, and Sunset introduces the concept in a beginner-friendly manner. For any students interested in learning to surf, the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa does offer board rentals. The service is open from 12pm to 4pm Monday through Friday and 10am - 1pm over the weekend. Rentals are located in a light-green colored building on the Diamond Head end of the T.C Ching field. Rates are $10 a day, $18 for a weekend and $30 for a week. Surfboards will also require a $150 deposit. For more information, email rentcclp@ hawaii.edu. If you want to pick up your own board, it is easy to find a cheap stick online or by visiting one of many surf shops on O‘ahu.

15 to Finish is a University of Hawai‘ i campaign that encourages students to take 15 credits a semester in order to graduate on time. The 15 to Finish program was ﬁrst developed here at the University of Hawai’i. Other states are also jumping on board after seeing the beneﬁts of pushing the 15 to Finish message to students. Many students start college with the idea that they will graduate on

time, however graduating within four years is not a reality for some students. By taking 12 credits a semester you are considered a “full time” student, but taking 12 credits a semester will not allow you to graduate within four years. The 15 to Finish campaign encourages students to meet with their academic advisors who can help map out a plan to finish on time. The benefits of taking 15 to finish far outweigh the drawbacks. By taking 15 credits a semester and finishing in four years, you are able to save thousands of dollars in tuition,

not to mention housing expenses. On average, Hawai’i residents who obtain a bachelor’s degree earn more than $61,000 per year, compared to the average annual salary of $33,000 for Hawai’i residents who ﬁnished high school but did not earn a degree. By earning 15 credits every semester and graduating on time you will be able to start your career and earn money sooner. You may also want to consider graduate school and pursue a higher degree. Another option is to take time off

Taking 15 credits per semester may be challenging but there are ways to make getting on board a little easier. Getting an on-campus job will allow for more ﬂexibility in your schedule and will shorten your commute time compared to an off campus job. Looking to see if a course you need is offered online could help alleviate conﬂicts with class times and other obligations while still allowing you to take extra credits. If you cannot take 15 credits a semester you

to travel or do volunteer work. It is up to you to decide if 15 credits is something that you are capable of doing and will be beneﬁcial to you. Although there are many beneﬁts to taking 15 credits there are also some negatives as well. Not every student is able to take 15 credits a semester while juggling other life responsibilities. Some students have to work full time to support themselves, others have children or pressing obligations.

can always take summer classes to stay on track. Ask for help when you need it, there are many on-campus resources available to you. Every student is different and what might work for one student might not work for another. If you are capable of taking 15 credits to ﬁnish, it is highly in your favor to do so. Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

Internships vs. jobs To work or not to work, where is the question? Internships are an integral key to networking. While working, you are surrounded by professionals in your field of interest who have you as an intern in order to provide you with on-the-job training. Internships are beneficial if you have any interest in either working with the company after you graduate or working in a similar field. Some companies who host interns make offers to interns straight out of college. Internships normally last over the course of a semester, which gives students a good time frame to feel out different areas in their chosen career field before making a long term commitment. WORKING YOUR WAY TO THE TOP

SHIDLER COLLEGE OF BUSINESS / FLICKR 

There are many opportunities to find jobs and internships throughout UH. ERYN YUASA BUSINESS EDITOR

College is a recognized time for students to gain experience before entering the workforce full time. There is more than one path to acquire the needed experience and this often leaves students confused between pursuing a job opportunity or an internship. CAREER-SPECIFIC EXPERIENCE

There can sometimes be blurred lines between what is considered an internship and what is considered part-time work. Internship.

com identifies one key element that internships posses: “An internship, by definition, must include a specific learning objective.” Internships can be both paid and unpaid, or a mix of both. Some internship programs are strictly unpaid during the semester, but can offer compensation over the summer or other breaks when students are able to work more. The United States Department of Labor does lay out criteria for unpaid internships, including that the intern must not displace regular employees and the employer that provides the training derives

no immediate advantage from the activities of the intern. There are six officially listed criteria which can be found on their website. The university also allows for more opportunities to benefit from the internship. Many majors will offer accredited courses to students while they are completing their internship. If students are enrolled in the Honor’s Program, they are allowed to take HON 399, with or without a writing intensive, that satisfies one of the four honors or A section courses that a student has at to take in their first two years.

College is expensive, and that is one of the reasons why many students turn to part-time jobs. There are many job opportunities available both on and off campus. One of the resources that the University offers for students to find internships and jobs is the Student Employment and Cooperative Education (SECE) website. There, you can find part and full-time jobs, as well as internships and federal work study opportunities. Students who are interested in certain categories of jobs, such as engineering, fashion technology or food service can also find jobs specifically suited for those. Having a part-time job while you are in college provides various benefits. On-campus jobs allow students to network within the university community. Jobs provide financial

benefits to employees and that can be great for students who are looking to pay for their college expenses or pocket more spending money for their interests. They are hands-on, and teach customer interactions and business skills. Although the job might not be in the career field that you plan, that does not mean it loses benefit on your resumé or in your work experience portfolio. Many common jobs, such as ones in retail and ones in food services, allow motivated and high-performing employees to move up to higher rank positions such as managers and leads, even when they are students. A management position shows leadership skills and the ability to work as a team, which are integral skills that human resource managers look for while interviewing and hiring. WHICH TO PICK?

Both internships and jobs provide valuable hands on experience to students. There is no way to pick without ﬁrst understanding what you hope to gain out of your time with the company. A job typically provides a larger source of income and an opportunity to advance in the company, and an internship allows you to receive training and evaluation in your chosen ﬁeld. Whichever you pick, the most important thing is to put in your best work and build a reputation of excellence for yourself, which can help you advance in what you do after that.

Life’s a mess, de-stress Tips on how to eﬀectively manage stress levels.

!!!

FIND YOUR HAPPY PLACE Whether it be under a shady tree on campus, the beach or your usual spot snuggled into the corner of a coffee shop, ﬁnd your happy place and visit it often. The responsibilities and assignments of a college student can feel overwhelming at times, so it is important to change up your environment. Weeks upon weeks of being surrounded by chalkboards, whiteboards and the insides of cluttered dorms can make you feel like you are drowning in stress. Take the time to take a break from reality and visit a place that makes you feel happy.

JULIA KIM / INTERN

As the school year progresses, homework piles up, classes increase in difﬁculty, exams begin to threaten your GPA (and sanity) and stress levels run rampant all around campus. With so many demanding activities, it is an indisputable fact that life can get messy and stressful. Here are some tips to keep stress levels at bay even when life is full of strain.

KEEP YOUR FRIENDS CLOSE, BUT YOUR FAMILY CLOSER Friends and family are crucial to anyone’s sanity. Find your support group in college, but do not forget about your support group back home. Friends and family members have the ability to make you laugh, relax and de-stress. Surround yourself with those who make you a better version of you and remember to keep them close.

01 DO SOMETHING YOU LOVE EVERY DAY Even as assignments and exams continue to pile up, try to take a break once in a while to do something that brings you enjoyment and fulﬁllment. Anything from treating yourself to a cup of coffee to going surﬁng can help the nerves fade away. If you try to do at least one thing you love every day, you will manage to stay sane amidst the college craze.

GIVE YOURSELF SOME LENIENCE

REWARD YOURSELF

Sometimes it is easy to forget this simple, yet important fact: we are not perfect. Contrary to the expectations of others and what society seems to tell us on a daily basis, it is impossible to be perfect. Rid yourself of some stress by allowing yourself some lenience. Got less-than-expected grade on that test? Let it bother you for no more than two seconds, and then move on. When you are faced with failure, vow to work harder. If you acknowledge your humanistic qualities and do not pin yourself to unrealistic expectations, you will live a more relaxed and stress free life.

It is okay to reward yourself. In fact, you should reward yourself often. If you successfully complete a homework assignment or receive a good grade on a test, reward yourself in some way. Go shopping, visit your favorite ice cream parlor or spend time hanging out with friends. Everyone needs some encouragement or recognition to keep them going.
