This past week, America experienced a very important milestone; the largest lottery in history. Sure, the almost $1.6 Billion (that's $1,600,000,000 in case you need to really see all those zeros to comprehend how huge that is) jackpot has been claimed (by three different parties), but with the new rules that Powerball passed in October of 2015, it won't be long until we see another massive (although maybe not quite as large) jackpot for the taking.

In honor of this, and because I had some grand plans that recently were crushed, here are some ideas on what to do with the money when (it's important that you think positive) you win big.


1. Invest your money.

This is what you do if you want to be boring and responsible. Umm...did you forget that you made your fortune by making poor financial decisions and not investing the last of your paycheck?

2. Treat yo' self.

3. Buy a farm and then buy all the dogs in the world.

4. Sign up for Millionaire (or Billionaire) Matchmaker.

5. Put a therapist on retainer.

Because suddenly everyone's gonna want some money and you gotta know who your true friends are.

6. One word: travel.

7. Pay for college.

8. Buy a college.

9. Give some money to charity.


10. Invest in water.



11. Build an Olympic-size pool and fill it with Fiji water.

12. Self-fund a mockumentary about your life and hire Morgan Freeman to narrate it.

13. Gentrify a neighborhood.

14. Buy SeaWorld, dissolve the company and release all the animals back into the wild. #FreeWilly

15. Create a record company and sign all your favorite artists, giving them complete creative control, of course.

16. Save enough money to buy one item from Kanye West's clothing line.

17. Buy your parents a new house and give them a few extra millions for some chump-change.

18. Rent out Disney World for a day.

19. Become an investor on Shark Tank.

20. Open a Chick-fil-a inside your mansion.

21. Open a Panera inside your mansion.

22. Buy a sports team.

23. Bribe players on opposing teams to lose.

24. Fulfill one of your past dreams for someone else and marry poor, just so they can marry rich.

25. Invest money into robotics and become a real life Tony Stark.

26. Hire Orlando Bloom to read you romantic poetry all day long.

27. Buy the MySpace domain.

28. Resurrect MySpace; it's exactly like Facebook but without all the racist things your distant family posts.

29. Put out a hit on Mark Zuckerberg.

30. Pour millions of money into increasing awareness of climate change and global warming.

31. Or, buy an oil company.

32. Buy all the tickets to a concert, so that you're the only one who gets to see your favorite band live. Sorry everyone else, why don't you try not to be poor next time?

33. Order clothes online without looking at the size chart. Order the same dress in three different sizes, and throw out the ones that don't fit. Who cares? You can afford it now.

34. Buy more lottery tickets.

Hey, it worked once before, didn't it?

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.

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.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

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!
