9 Signs Spring Break Is Coming
Student City

With spring break around the corner, college students nationally are getting swamped with exams and papers all due within the same three-day span. If you think I'm kidding, I'm not. But of course, when spring fever hits campuses, you know it's coming.

1. Warm weather

Colleges go crazy when it goes above 60 degrees. Dages, people everywhere, and enough foot traffic to power your campus for a year are all about to hit your campus.

2. Getting slammed with assignments

I have an exam, a paper, and an oral presentation plus a quiz all on the same day... RIP.

3. Texts from friends you graduated with

You spoke to these people over winter break, and maybe once before that. But hey, who else are you going to see over spring break besides your family and dog?

4. Bathing suits galore

Stores suddenly have them out overnight and you really need that cute red one.

5. You suddenly realize how badly you need to shave your legs.

Whether you actually plan on doing it or not, the thought crosses your mind for a second.

6. You actually feel better!

Sun gives us Vitamin D which strengthen bones, muscles, and the body's immune system.

7. St. Patrick's Day and Easter decorations

Two pretty great holidays if you ask me, so of course, they'd be near spring break.

8. People mentioning their vacation plans that they've had since winter break...


They're surfing in Cancun and you're couch surfing in East Bumble, USA.

9. Dages

Day parties, day rages, or simply dages are a common sign that spring break is approaching, but more importantly, so is the end of the semester.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

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?
