@MANAGEMENTTips For Money

Create a budget at the beginning of each semester and

portion out how much money you can spend in a week

and each month.

1

Keep track of your spending with smartphone apps.

They break down your spending into categories to help

you see how you are spending your money.

2When spending money, make sure you really need what you are buying and that the item is worth the money. Although going out to eat is fun, remember Stamper is already paid for! 3

C“When all else fails,

take a nap.”

Relax Take “me” time. Unwind from a busy day with something you enjoy. Read a book, tune into Hulu, spend time with friends or take a walk.

Get sleep! All-nighters are actually not OK. You need sleep to concentrate and to be productive.

Try yoga or working out.

Create a list of everything you need to do and cross off tasks as you finish them. Seeing your progress can help reduce stress.

Get off campus for a little while.

Helpful tips for keeping your stress levels low

You Beat the Freshman15

Shape your arms with a challenging variation

of the standard push-up. With your desk up

against a wall, place your hands on the edge

a little wider than shoulder-width apart. Keep

your feet on the floor, back flat and chest

in-line with the edge of the desk. Slowly lower

your chest down, bending at the elbows until

you’re about 6 inches from the desk. Push your

body back up to the starting position. Work

your way up to 5 sets of 10.

Put your desk to good use1.

Need an energy boost? Instead of reaching

for food, opt for a quick cardio blast by

alternating 3 sets of 20 stadium runs and 20

jumping jacks. For stadium runs, start with

hands on the floor and feet shoulder-width

apart. Use a thrusting motion to bring your

right knee in toward the chest. As the right

foot goes back to the starting position, raise

your left knee. Be sure to have a slight bend

in the elbow and keep your abs tight.

Burn off that late-night snack2.

Tone your tummy with the help of your

textbooks. Lay face up on a mat or towel

with knees bent and feet on the floor. Hold

your heaviest course book directly over your

head with both hands. Keeping your abs

tight, slowly lift your head and shoulder

blades off the towel, lifting the book in the

air. Hold for one second then slowly release,

working your way up to three sets of 20.

You

Sculpt your arms from the comfort of

your bed by doing dips. Sit on the edge

of the bed with your hands next to your

hips. Move your hips in front of the

bed, bend your elbows, and lower a few

inches while keeping your backside close

to the bed. Don't sink into the shoulders

or lower past 90 degrees. Push back up

and repeat for 3 sets of 15.

use your Bed for more than sleePing4.

Use your desk chair as a prop for shaping

your backside with these squats. Place your

feet shoulder-width apart and squat down

slowly as you sit back on your heels. Lower

yourself as far as you can while keeping

your knees behind toes and not going below

90 degrees, then return to starting position.

Try putting a chair behind you and act like

you're about to sit down, pulling up before

actually sitting. Do 3 sets of 10. Want an

extra challenge? Use an explosive jump to

get up from the bent position and you'll

burn more calories.

Make sure you keep a few pairs of shorts around at the beginning of the school year and even during the fall and winter because Columbia weather fluctuates rapidly.

Keep your feet warm and dry as you trek across campus in a shiny pair of rain boots.

A nice pair of warm winter boots is a must have for keeping warm during the long winter season. Look for a pair with good traction to keep you on your feet during icy weather.

Carry a light jacket with you to throw on and off if it’s too warm or cold.

Columbia weather is crazy and unpredictable Always keep an umbrella with you no matter what the weather channel predicts.

To avoid this “obvious don’t”, check to make sure the volume on your phone is mute. Vibrate does not = mute.

Short, stretchy skirts have no place in presentation attire. Make sure your skirt is to your knee. As a rule of thumb, if you can wear it out at night, you shouldn’t wear it to a professional presentation.

Keep skirt hems close to the knee. A crisp, white top paired with a pencil skirt and appropriate heels make up an ideal outfit.

{ {Ghosts Stories Legends

Pillsbury & Roblee

Pillsbury & Roblee basements were used as a psychology ward and hospital during the Civil War. Ghosts of the soldiers still wander around. The blue maidens were the nurses who helped get the soldiers back to health. They were called “blue maidens” because of their blue dresses. In the halls, these blue maidens turned into the students’ maids. Stephens College is notorious for be-ing a finishing school for the most well off women in the country. The blue maidens became known, after the Civil War, as their personal servants. Now, it is rumored that they will tuck students in at night and sing them to sleep. But don’t bring your male guests over–they will get mad.

In the 1970s, two frightening events happened in Tower Hall. A fire burned down the now infamous fifth floor, closing its doors for good. Stephens Board of Trustees decided to keep this event very quiet. Students still say that they can hear furniture moving above them.

Tower Hall

Senior Hall

Presidents Home

During the Civil War, Senior Hall was used as a dormitory for the wealthy young ladies attending Stephens. One evening, the girls of the hall found a wounded confederate soldier. Sarah June Wheeler took a special interest in nursing him back to health in her room. It was not long until the two fell madly in love. The other girls in the hall knew about the soldier, but it was the dining staff who noticed Sarah taking extra portions of food away from meals. The staff found the soldier and shot him. Sarah was so heartbroken that she hung herself from the bell tower that same evening. Some say that her ghost still wanders Senior Hall in the evening, searching for her lost love.

President Wood and his wife, Lela Raney Wood, lived in the President’s house during their time at Stephens. Lela was a bit younger than her husband and was known as being quite striking. The couple had never been happier, until the day that the young child died suddenly. No one knows what caused the death; experts merely say, “Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.” Lela lived miserably the rest of her days and died a few years later. Legend has it that you can still hear the cradle rocking and baby crying inside the President’s house.

After Dark Common sense rules for hitting the night scene:

3. Be aware of your surroundings. If something doesn’t feel right, don’t do it.

2. Never leave your cup unattended. Seriously, never leave it, not even to go to the bathroom. Take it with you or ask a trusted friend to hold it.

1. Never go out at night alone. You should always take a friend or fellow Suzie with you.

}A trusted friend does not equal the guy you just met.}

4. If you ever feel uncomfortable walking alone at night you can always call security. (573) 876.7299

5. Our on campus M.D. is trained in all areas of personal wellness. You can alway make an appointment to meet with her for any sexual health questions or problems. (573) 876.7157

?{where are the boys

So you have decided you can handle attending an all-girls school. You might have just one

teeny, tiny question: How to find a man on an all-womens campus? When working through

questions of this magnitude, it is always best to consult our elders...

But Wait...

The best advice I have ever received was to stop looking., You will find someone when you least expect it. Go out and have fun, live your life, and get off campus Focusing on you and your goals is the best way to make your college years count. -Tiffany S. ’ 1 0

There are always a ton of men in the MIZZOU Library or you can make friends that go to MIZZOU that might be able to introduce you to new people -Jacqueline M. ’13

I would say going to local frat parties may be fun, but don’t go there to find love -Michelle N. ’ 1 4

As long as you go out and have some fun doing things, you will meet tons of new people. -Robyn H. ’13
