20 Things To Do Other Than School Work
Maritime First Newspaper

Homework, projects, and assignments: it is that point in the semester where college students feel constantly drowned in school work. It is tough when you have 3 assignments, a paper, and a four chapter exam all in one week, but we have ALL been there. While it is important to stay on top of all the assignments and exams that you have it is also important to enjoy activities that can put your mind at rest, and take a break from all the stresses during the school week. Here is a list of things that you can do on your study breaks, and the weekend, that you should do:

1. Put your headphones on and take a long walk.

2. Go to the movies.

3. Pick up some colored pencils, paper, and draw.

4. FaceTime with a friend from home (this one is important because talking to a friend you do not see everyday is always relieving).

5. Call your mom or dad.

6. Go out, have fun, and do not think about school for a few hours.

7. If it is warm enough, lay out.

8. Read a book that interests you.

9. On the weekend, sleep in without feeling guilty about it.

10. Take a long, hot shower.

11. Have a movie night on Netflix with friends.

12. Head to the beach.

13. Go to your favorite restaurant.

14. Go to the zoo or aquarium.

15. Take buzzfeed quizzes (if you want to know why, based off your sign, you're a fruit and not human).

16. Do yoga.

17. Do some DIY activities or creations for your room.

18. Take a long drive with music blasting.

19. Go on a hike.

20. Finally, just do something that will make you happy!

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
