5 iPhone Games That Should Make A Comeback

As someone who constantly procrastinates, I have developed a love for my iPhone more than the average person. That being said, I am constantly downloading new apps to avoid responsibility. Several apps (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) have remained popular throughout the years, but there have been several apps that were huge then eventually disappeared that should have remained popular AF because they were perfect for procrastinators like me.

1. Draw Something

(Released: February 24, 2012)

What wasn't to love about getting to become Picasso for a second and have your friends guess what it was? The best part? You could literally draw anything and it could look nothing like the word you said it was and whoever you were playing would have to spend far too much time trying to figure out what your drawing was. A modern day mobile Pictionary- artsy.

2. DragonVale

(Released: September 14, 2011)

I remember everyone building their dragon farms and showing how cute their baby dragons were. I high key love this because of the low-key maintenance this took. Most of this app was waiting (dragons take specific times to hatch- the cooler the dragon, the longer the wait) It gave you something to look forward to during the day (0/10 wouldn't recommend if you're an impatient person).

3. Candy Crush

(Released: April 12, 2012)

Before you judge me, I've never sent out a mass Candy Crush request to my Facebook friends (just the ones that play Candy Crush). How could you not love this game? It was simple and fun- match candy and rack up points. It was pretty much the easiest way to waste time (all while feeling like you were accomplishing something).

4. Trivia Crack

(Released: October 26, 2013)

I love trivia and am shamelessly good at knowing the oddest facts. This game was/is a mobile trivia night that I can play with anyone anywhere, at any time and I've learned much more trivia through my incorrect answers- did you know that Meg Ryan's name is an anagram for a European country? Germany, to be exact.

5. Words With Friends

(Released: July 2009)

I will admit this game gets a 0/10 for creativity- it's literally online Scrabble. That being said, it was popular with people who enjoy word games (and who would have guessed that an English major would love word games?) Regardless, if you love word games (and wasting time) this was a great way to learn some new words with people all over the world.

I'll shamelessly admit that I still have all of these apps on my phone

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?

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
