A Letter To Annika...
Annika Pitts

Dear Annika/Shan,

In one of my bouts of writer's block you annoyed me to write this letter, so here you are. Honestly, I think you might regret having asked for this but here we go. I love you tons so just remember that is what matters, but also do not annoy me into writing things about you. Here are some things that I've noticed that are very unique to you.

First off, I have never met someone who is as randomly crazy and silly as you. As I am writing this, you have gone from turning on a strobe light and singing "I'm so silly" to whipping and running around the apartment. You have so much energy that honestly I have no idea where you get it from and if you have nothing to do it comes out in honestly the weirdest ways. Half the time I feel like I am living with a toddler who has just eaten a pound of candy. I've gotten so used to it that so many things happen that I should be shocked about but am not.

Second, you legit go from being somewhat of a kid to being such a stressed-out adult that I am almost always blind sighted by it. I can come home, and you can be goofing around, but the second you check your calendar or agenda you immediately get the stress of a doctor going into surgery on the president of the United States. I honestly do not even know where it comes from, but I feel like for your health you need to figure out how to take it a couple of notches down. Like seriously it like makes me nervous sometimes how crazy it can be.

Third, you are probably the most loving person I have ever met but also one of the meanest. I have seen you go for some of the meanest jabs and then follow it up with so much love that it can be like suffocating. You have called people out for being single, for getting hurt and for having bad grades and as soon as you say it, you immediately start saying sorry. It is so odd that such a sweet person can be so randomly mean but then so apologetic.

At the end of the day, I love you so much, and these things are not even criticism they are legit just funny. You are one of the best (and most beautiful) people I have in my life, and I am so thankful for you. I know you are going to kill it at nursing school and that you will be there for me for the rest of my life. Love you so much chica <3

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?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

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!)
