Who doesn't like to have a bit of fun during summer time? Well, here's some things to do at least once during summer break.

1. Zip Lining

If you are afraid of heights, then maybe take a pass on this one. Though, you might regret it. It is so much fun to go zip lining, and after the first couple of times, you'll forget about your fears. There is a great one on Camano Island that I went to a couple years ago.

2. Go to a convention

There are always conventions going on around cities in the summer months. If you like science, go find a STEM convention, if you like anime, go find an anime convention. If you can dress up for it, that's even better. Act like a kid, even if you're an adult, summer can be fun.

3. Whale Watching

If you go whale watching during the summer, you might not freeze while out on the water, just don't forget the sunscreen! Whale watching is fun and exciting, and you can always go find a local hotspot afterward to eat.

4. Go camping with friends

This is a great way to bond even more. Plus, you can have smores as much as you want if you are able to have a small campfire. You might even be able to stargaze at night.

5. Road trip


Going on a road trip across the country might seem boring at first, but you can see so many things while on the road instead of a plane. The sunrise/sunset in the desert is gorgeous to watch from a car while you are sitting on the side of the road or driving.

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!)
