5 Reasons Why Homecoming Week Is THE Best Week of College

It's that time of year. I've got spirit, yes I do. We've got spirit, how 'bout you?!?! It's your college's homecoming week!!! Prepare for fun!


1. Crazy Fun and Free Events ALL Week

As a college student, were already broke as can be, so fun free events and possibly free stuff have our names written all over it.

2. The Overall Hype Around Campus

We though high school homecoming was lit. No. College homecoming is bigger, wilder, and feels like it lasts forever. Everyone even after homecoming is in a good mood.

3. College Professors Cut Some Slack

Not every professor will, but most professors will cut some slack or cancel class on Friday before homecoming. So if you're lucky enough to have one or two like this, enjoy it.

4. Homecoming Weekend

Especially if you win the homecoming game, the parties are crazy. Full of people, loud music, everyone having a wonderful time. Just remember to be safe and have a designated driver if you're going to drink. On bigger campuses, I definitely recommend having a party buddy to help make sure you don't get yourself into sticky situations.

5. You only get four

Like high school homecomings, there are only four chances to enjoy these as a student. So be spirited. Feel the pride. Enjoy each and every one of your college homecoming because before you know it, you'll just be another name on their records that received a degree from them.

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?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

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!)
