Now that school is over and summer has started, us students get to have the freedom we've been dreaming about all semester long. I'm pretty sure that at least half of the college student population has had or will have these thoughts this summer.

1. I'm sleeping for a week.

The second I get home, I don't want to move from my bed for the next week. This is the prime time for me to catch up on the sleep that I never got during the spring semester. Don't talk to me, don't make plans with me, and DO NOT wake me up at all.

2. FOOD.

Finally some good food. If there is a family event coming up, you better believe that I'm going to be packing leftovers for the next week and will be eating everything. Also, this is the perfect time for mom and/or dad to make some nice home-cooked meals (cough, cough, Mom).

3. I need a job.

If I'm planning to hang out with friends, I need to probably get a job. Not to mention, getting a head start on paying rent for next semester's apartment would be best. There's nothing like a nice flow of cash in the summer.

4. I'm going to work out this summer.

Maybe. Hopefully. probably not, but at least I'm thinking about it.

5. Great, I have classes this summer.

There's nothing like a summer class with your graduating class at your community college. It's like a high school reunion.

6. Road trip?

Gather the friend group and hit the road. Buuutt, let's be real, that's not going to happen.

7. I'm going to hang out with all of my friends all summer.

It's nearly impossible to get the entire friend group together to hang out. You'll have one friend on vacation, one working all summer, one that is in both summer session classes, and you sleeping away the summer.

8. I can't find anything.

I'm going to be honest, I probably won't fully unpack at all this summer. This makes it really hard to find all of my stuff and I end up angrily digging through all of my boxes.

9. It's family time.

9 times out of 10, your entire family will want to see you and talk about your semesters in school. Time to put on that smile and recite your entire spring semester within 10 minutes. You'll hear a lot of "What's your major now?" "How were your finals?" "What grades did you make?" "What do you want to do after college?" "Have you thought about graduate school?"

10. I want to go back to [insert your college town].

Late nights out, your college friend group, and the freedom that college had was amazing and sometimes it's hard not to miss it. Especially when you have a house full of animals and people that are a little crazy sometimes.

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?

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!)
