A letter to my time at college...

After being at college for almost two years, I have come to realize just how great it is. In this short amount of time, I've been able to study things that truly interest me, make a bunch of amazing new friends and experience things I would never have thought of. It is crazy to think that I am almost half way through some of the best years of my life. To commemorate all of these emotions, here is a letter to my beautiful time at college.

To all the new friends I've made,

Thank you for existing and for being your amazing selves. You guys had brought me so much joy, and I can't imagine going through college without you guys. Regardless of how annoying you guys can sometimes be, I know that you guys are going to be around for a long time. Here's to more laughs, nights out, and Chick-fil-a.

To all my teachers who have taught me things I actually care about,

Thank you for opening my eyes about all the different aspects of psychology that I had never learned about. Throughout this past couple of semesters, I've truly been able to look into and learn about things that make me passionate about my major. School is 100% different when you are interested in what you do. Here's to learning more about what I love.

To all the things I have done,

From working in a research lab to being able to be a campus tour guide, I have gotten to do things I would never have even imagined doing. I have been able to find things that I truly love doing and want to continue doing throughout my life. It has been amazing to be able to find new hobbies and passions. Here's to finding more things that bring me happiness.

College has truly been such an eye-opening experience. It has brought me so much joy, and I cannot wait to see what else it brings me. After only a year and a half, I know that the rest of my time here is going to be great.

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. 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.

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!)
