What I Miss About Being A Child

Growing up really isn't as fun as I thought it would be.

What I Miss About Being A Child
Blogspot

As a child, I couldn't wait to grow up. For some reason, having a car and a job and being in college sounded so appealing. However, now that I'm here, I'm starting to realize that being older isn't all that it was hyped up to be and adulting is not as fun as I was expecting. I miss a lot about my childhood, but here are a few things I miss the most.

1. Not having endless amounts of homework.


2. Being entertained by the smallest things.

3. Not having to worry about money.

4. I didn't have to worry about what I wore.

5. I could sleep as much as I wanted.

6. I didn't know what make-up was.

7. I had perfect skin.

8. I somehow knew exactly what I wanted to do with my life.

9. I could eat whatever I want.

10. The biggest drama was over issues on the playground at school.

11. I wasn't worried about failing a class because I just couldn't stay up any later trying to complete an assignment.

12. My mom did my laundry.

13. I didn't have to worry about buying my own food.

14. Social media wasn't even a thing in my little world.

15. Not having to deal with terrible drivers.

16. Not knowing what bills were and that some day I would have to pay them.

17. Seeing the best in the people of the world.

18. Ice cream in class every Friday.

19. Naps during school.

20. Not having to work.

21. Good cartoons.

22. The birthday parties.

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!)
