I do not directly live in the city, but I do live to visit it and go sight-seeing or window-shopping. I usually go out to so I can see and meet different kinds of people. I like walking to places and seeing new attractions. These attractions can be anything as exciting as a new campaign advertisement for a huge blowout sale at one of my favorite clothing stores. I am used to living with constant noise and rushing to places. However, I had to change my usual way of living for a couple of days. Visiting family members in a different state that is known for its calm environment filled with wildlife and trees sounds nice at first, but once you get there and there’s barely anything to do but watch TV and eat peanut-butter sandwiches, your head starts to hurt. Your head hurting is one of the first stages to losing your mind. The next stage, which I would like to call: The Frozen Stage, involves me staying completely still on the couch for hours and not making any major movements. The third stage, which is also the final stage, involves me completely enjoying everything, including the view and my family, and feeling totally relaxed. Here are some reasons you should take a short break in a quiet and secluded area with a huge wildlife scenery, if you are a typical city person:

1) The scenery is beautiful.

If you play close attention to the scenery, you start to notice the different shapes that the stars make at night and the perfectly-formed trees that surround the houses.

2) The quiet is relaxing.

For a short while, you start to appreciate being able to her yourself. You start to gain your own sense of self again.

3) Your family is awesome.

You start to appreciate your family when you spend a lot of time with them.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
