5 Things To Do During Summer 2016

We've all just finished a stressful year of school, and it's finally time for Summer 2016! We all have those days where we sit around trying to find something to do, so next time that happens to you, take some of these suggestions!

1. Set goals — Nothing feels better than accomplishing something you've been wanting to do, whether it's starting a new fitness journey, mastering that braid you've been trying to do forever or finally going on that long, overdue vacation.

2. Read a book that's been hiding — We all have those books that we got for Christmas, four Christmases ago from our parents...

3. Save $$ -— Most of us just went broke spending what seems like a million plus dollars on fall and spring semester. Unfortunately, fall semester creeps up quickly, and you'll want some spending money.

4. Stop and take it all in — We spend so much time rushing from one place to the next, that we don't ever just stop and take it all in. Go to your happy place, sit down, look around and see all that it has to offer.

5. Reunite with those friends you've been missing or meaning to catch up with — If you've been away at college, you haven't seen those friends from home in what seems like ages and it's time to party it up. I mean after all, it is Summer 2016!

With these options, you just can't go wrong! Time is short, so enjoy Summer 2016!

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?

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.

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!)
