10 Questions You Won't Stop Hearing On Breaks

As much as we love our families and have missed them while we were away at school, we don’t miss them asking 20 questions while were at home. We come home to enjoy the holidays and see family we haven’t seen in months, or to get a nice warm home cook meal and enjoy sleeping in our own bed. Freshman college students, be prepared for these questions. And in all honesty, my answers are the answers everyone wants to tell their family but can’t. Good luck on the holidays, and don’t forget to wash your clothes before you go back to school!

1. How’s school going?

Well it’s school, but harder. College is a lot different than high school, but a lot more enjoyable.

2. How’s your teachers?

Well, they are professors, not teachers. I mean, one teacher likes to give a bunch of extra credit, and another class we only get 4 grades the entire semester. So I’d say it’s not too bad.

3. Do you like your roommate?

Yeah she’s nice, but I’d rather live on my own.

4. Are you eating regularly?

What’s your definition of regularly? I sometimes eat twice a day, and sometimes I eat eight times a day.

5. How about exercising every day?

If you include curling a 12oz up to my mouth as a workout, then yes, I exercise daily.

6. You’re not going out very often, are you?

I’m not, there’s seven days a week, and five of them are specials nights at the bars. So I promise I don’t go out too much.

7. Do you have a boyfriend yet?

Well um, kinda. I mean it’s a little bit different in college, so sure.

8. What’s your plan after school?

I don’t really have one; I just started college.

9. Do you have any internships set up or in mind when you come home for the summer?

Nope, I’m going to wait another year or so.

10. Do you miss your family?

Not anymore, I came home to visit everyone. Not to be questioned about school and get bugged every 2 minutes about my plan after college.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

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?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
