10 Things To Do This Summer

Summer 2017 is quickly approaching and you're already dreading having to work during those amazingly nice days. But, what do we actually do on our days off? We typically relax. But, this summer, instead of relaxing, everyone should attempt to conquer their summer bucket lists. If you need some ideas on what to do on your days off, here are a few.

1. Play Messy Twister

Whether it be with a huge group of friends on a Saturday night, or with your family, gather up some colored shaving cream or paint and play a game of Messy Twister.

2. Go On A Long Road Trip (With No Destination)

Gather up some money and hop in the car with all your closest friends. Take a road trip to no where while blasting your favorite summer music.

3. Go To A Music Festival

Personally, this is my number one thing to cross off my bucket list this summer. Everyone should be able to experience a music festival.

4. Drive-In Movie Theater At Night

Take a trip to the closest Drive-In movie theater around you. Go with a group of friends and bring some cozy blankets. On a warm night with a slush and popcorn? What more could you ask for.

5. Stargaze On The Beach

Simple and it's free! Take a drive to your local beach and lay down a blanket and watch the stars. There's nothing more relaxing than the sound of the waves crashing onto shore with your closest pals.

6. Glow-stick Swim

Gather up all of your friends and get yourself some glow sticks from the store. Crack them open, throw them in the pool once it's dark outside, and swim the night away with your friends.

7. Spend The Weekend On A Lake

Have all of your friends and yourself toss money into a lake house for a weekend. Enjoy the outdoors with no distractions, enjoy the lake itself, and enjoy the amazing memories.

8. Try Every Ice Cream Place Around You

Who wouldn't want to try every ice cream flavor possible? Let alone every ice cream place around you? Try and switch up from your typical go-to ice cream shop and try somewhere new!

9. Get Henna Tattoos

These tattoos are a popular trend and look amazing on everyone. Let them try, peel them off, and you have a temporary tattoo for a few weeks

10. Throw A 'Throwback' Party

Gather up all of your friends and have a good time in your backyard, listening to throwback music, and enjoying the night.

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.

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?
