<\/a><\/div>\n

After hearing about the Oscars last week, I\u2019ve decided to write about Langsdale. Odd link, isn\u2019t it? Well, I personally didn\u2019t watch the Oscars, but I listened to the media buzz about the stars\u2019 attire and the great pictures nominated. This led me to the DVD collection at Langsdale. A lot of students come into the library to study and sometimes forget that we have a great leisure reading and DVD collection. Students can at times be so focused on getting their work done that they develop tunnel vision. Some rarely treat themselves.<\/p>\n

About a month ago, I was shopping at Target, and as I approached the cashier I noticed the sign for \u201c$5 DVDs.\u201d I bought three DVDs that day and as of now, have only watched one, Julia & Julie<\/a>. Want to know the most astonishing fact? This movie premiered in theaters August 7, 2009. It\u2019s 2013 and it took me almost five years to get around to watching a movie with my favorite actress, Meryl Streep. So what do I want you to take away from this blog post? Let\u2019s see: <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Try to relieve stress:<\/b> Treat yourself to a movie, new shirt, or check out a book. Allot yourself some \u201cyou\u201d time. It\u2019s a stress reliever.
     <\/li>\n
  2. Check out Langsdale\u2019s DVD collection & leisure reading:<\/b> Try checking out our DVD collection at least once a semester. There are plenty of Oscar award-winning pictures with award-winning actors\/actresses. Rumor has it that we\u2019ll be getting Argo <\/a>\u2013 a three time award winning picture featuring George Clooney, Grant Heslov and Ben Affleck.
     <\/li>\n
  3. For everyone:<\/b> Try NOT to fall victim to work overload. Find small tasks that help you relax and enjoy some leisure time. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
