Instead of sleeping your day away, here are some suggestions on how you COULD spend some of your free time:

1. Catch up on homework.

Because in college even when you feel like you're caught up and done for the week, you never are.

2- Get a good workout in.

Because the key to a long and happy life is a happy and healthy body...Or something like that.

3. Go socialize.

Friends!!!!! We all need some of those.

4. Organize your life.

Now is your chance to get your planner up to date with sticky notes and highlighters, whatever it is that will help you get your ish together.

5. Read some books.

Reading is good for the mind and soul. They can expand your vocabulary and get your brain juices flowing.

6. Go enjoy the great outdoors.

Mother Nature! Fresh air, pretty trees, creepy crawly bugs- All things beneficial to your body and mind.

7. Buy something.

I am a firm believer that shopping can fix any and all problems. PLUS there's an opportunity to get a good little workout in with a couple laps around the mall.

8. Do yoga.

Yoga calms the mind and limbers the body. Try it.

9. Eat good food.

One that is not only necessary, but my personal favorite. Try something new or channel your inner chef and cook something up on your own.

10. Crafts

Hit up your local Hobs Lobs for some super creative crafting gear and get to work.

11. Netflix your life away.

Netflix never fails and you can always find a show to binge watch if you feel the need

12. Think about how badly you want to take a nap.

Consider all the productive things you could accomplish instead of napping. Naps take up so much time that could be spent to get stuff done.

After deep consideration of all the things that you could do instead of napping, acknowledge the fact that most ideas listed would be better executed if you were well rested, give in, and get you some much-needed sleep. Try again tomorrow.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
