Midterms are finally coming to an end and it's time for most of us to head home for a few days and enjoy fall break. The stress of our heavy workload at school can come to a pause for a little bit, and we can enjoy some time home with friends and family. Here are five things you should make sure to do while you're home for fall break:

1. Spend time with family

This is the most important thing to me. I haven't been able to come home in two months or see any of my family, so looking forward to spending time with my family has been such a blessing. It is so important to let the stress of school and the crazy college lifestyle go for a little bit and take some time to relax with your family.

2. See your old friends

One of the best things about coming home for a little bit is getting to see all of your old friends from high school and your hometown. All my friends and I from my city have gone our separate ways and although we stay in touch, there is nothing like seeing each other in-person. After being apart for so long nothing feels better than reuniting.

3. Sleep in

I don't know about you but while I am at school I am never able to sleep in. During the week I have 8 and 9 a.m. classes and on the weekend I always have too much work to do to be able to sleep in. Fall break is the best time to catch up on sleep and be able to completely relax.

4. Catch up on Netflix

At school I never, ever have time to watch my favorite shows on Netflix or on TV because I am too busy studying and doing school work. With a few free days at home, I am making sure to relax and catch up on some of my favorites.

5. Get your life together

Honestly, I have heard so many people say they need to "get their lives together" during fall break. Sometimes we get so consumed in the same routine at school and keeping up with all of our school work that we forget to focus on anything else. For me, over fall break I need to take the time to look over possible internship options for next summer since I don't have much time to do so at school.

Make sure that wherever you are over fall break you make time for these five things, and enjoy your time off!

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?

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.

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!)
