10 Ways To Keep Yourself Busy

Have a paper due tomorrow that you really don't want to start? Significant other won't answer your texts? Perhaps you actually just have nothing better to do?

Well, fret no more! Here's 10 ways to keep yourself busy.


1. Write a list of things you love, hate, have traveled to, or want to travel to. List 'em.

This gets fun real quick. Just go off. Let it all out. (The hate list is my favorite)

Example: I hate chewy bacon.

2. Kid, clean your room.

We all know it's dirty.

Start with washing your dirty clothes, you animal.

3. Go visit your grandparents or other relatives.

They'll be happy to see you anyway!

Hopefully.

4. Cook yourself something.

Food is fantastic. Make it a time consuming preparation of a dish.

(I have no recommendations, I only know how to make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches)

5. Harass your friends to do something with you.

Movie theater? Go out to eat? Shopping?

Start with saying: "Hey, please save me. " then follow up with "...from boredom" once they answer. Chances are they won't ignore that text.

6. Look at old pictures of your childhood or with your friends.

You know the ones in the attic or something.

I know this one takes a lot of effort.

7. Join Odyssey Online.

Seriously, contact your college!!

Shameless plug, sorry.

8. Start a Netflix show.

But don't be basic.

Ever heard of "Sons of Anarchy?"

9. Online Shop.

Even if you don't have money.

There's nothing wrong with being window shopper.

10. Nap.

This is a personal favorite.

Now you'll be busy and you'll be refreshed to continue doing nothing afterwards!


Well, I hope this article dug up some of your time that you probably should've dedicated to studying or something. You're welcome.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
