5 Thoughts While Home For Spring Break

Not everyone gets to go on a beautiful, majestic, dream spring break vacation. Let's be real, if every time a vacation picture was posted on Insta was a dollar, you could probably afford to go to Mexico for spring break. Maybe next year. Everyone at home for spring break is just longing to go back to school after such an uneventful spring break. You're not alone, we're all thinking the same thing.

1. How can you afford this? - As we scroll through Instagram and the 100 snapchat stories, we are all wondering how you can afford this. We all complain at school how we're all broke college kids, yet here you are partying it up. I'll just be here on my couch virtually living it up in Cancun.

2. What did I do for fun before college? - Not all college's have the same spring breaks, which makes it almost impossible for there to be any parties of any sort. Yeah maybe you'll see some friends, but you all have no clue what to do with yourselves. How many times is it acceptable to go to the mall and not even buy anything? Your home town once you've left for college is kind of just lame at this point.

3. How many people can I avoid this break? - We all had those certain people we weren't the biggest fans of. The best part about college is being able to leave people in the past and not worry about seeing them, well until breaks. Hiding in your room and watching Netflix is the best way to avoid someone, and a great excuse to binge watch shows.

4. Why do I have 70 things due when I get back to school? - Spring break is not meant for work, it is meant for sleeping. C'mon professors get it together. We were on a break.

5. This weather is the opposite of spring break - Thank you mother nature for deciding now is the best time to have a snow storm. You couldn't wait another week so we could all have a snow day? Being snowed in during spring break is just not logical.

Everyone sitting at home during spring break losing their minds from boredom, don't worry. You'll be back at school living it up again and hearing about everyones fun vacations before you know it. Keep watching Netflix and stay strong.

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.
