7 Things That Can Change Your Mindset, That Will Totally Change Your Life
Alison Miller

One thing that I was always known for is to do the same thing that I was always comfortable with doing, and being hesitant to try different things.

Also, thinking about things in one absolute way, which I found out was not the way that I should be. Of course, you have your own opinions about life, styles, or people, but if you expand the way you think about things, the benefits can be life changing. It opens up your mind to another world of things that you never knew that you could love.

Here are a few ways that you could expand your mind, that could have a great effect on your future.

1. Try a new food or restaurant

One thing that many people are always very particular about is food. My suggestion is to try a place that you never knew that you would like, it could very well become one of your new favorite things, and it expands your knowledge on food.

2. Travel somewhere new

Traveling is a great way to experience new things, people, and educate yourself more thoroughly. Some of my favorite memories are made from traveling to a place that I had never been before.

3. Incorporate fitness and yoga into your routine

Many people say that yoga has a great effect on people by opening their minds.

4. Put down your phone, and engage in reality

Sometimes cell phones can take away attention from reality, but if we take the time to actually observe and engage with people, many great things can come out of it.

5. Talk to someone different than you

If you are always around the same type of people, you tend to not be as mindful of people who are different. You can learn many things from people who have different qualities than you do.

6. Don't stress about the small things

Coming from someone who stresses about literally EVERYTHING, I have found out that it is so much easier to not let things that don't really matter in the long run affect you.

7. Get a good night's rest

Sleep is a necessity to function normally, and getting enough of it can improve your mindset throughout the day. You are bound to get more things accomplished too.

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.

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.
