We have all been left home alone at one point or another during our lives, or maybe we even live alone now. Regardless, here are 15 things all twenty-somethings do when we're left alone, how many on this list have you done?

1. Take a long-a** bath (or shower)

Did someone say LUSH?!

2. Watch TV in the strangest positions

I know I'm guilty of doing this on my days off, and if you say you're not guilty too, then you're a liar.

3. Attempt to cook

Who wants brownies?

4. Erase all evidence when #3 fails horribly

If there is no evidence, did I really burn anything? No, no I did not.

5. Walk around the house naked

Just make sure all the doors and blinds are closed first!

6. Snoop around your roommate's (or sibling's) closet

Just try to put things back the same way they were! And if you do steal any clothes, don't get caught wearing them!

7. Dance around the house to whatever music you want!

Gibbler Gallop anyone?

8. Actually be productive

You're home alone, which means the washer and drier should be free... Time to be a productive member of society and do your laundry that has been overflowing for days. Just kidding.

9. Take a nice, relaxing nap

Curl up in bed or on the couch, throw on a movie you've seen a dozen plus times, and just fall asleep.

10. Read that book thats been sitting on your shelf

I have so many good books on my bookshelf that I haven't touched since I bought them. There need to be more hours in the day.

11. Call up your grandparents (or other family member)

I know it makes my grandma's day when I call her just to chat and see how she's doing. Especially if you don't get to see them very often, it'll mean a lot to them.

12. Watch trash TV

You know exactly what I'm talking about. That trash reality TV that you tell everyone you hate but secretly love

13. Go for a walk

Take your animal with you if you have one, chances are they want to go too.

14. Stalk people on social media

Your ex, their new significant other, your family, that one kid from your high school you forgot existed...We've all done it, don't lie.

15. Call a friend and ask them to come over

Call a friend to come over and do all these things together.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

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?
