All Work and No Play Makes Me Something, Something...
The Shining

So, we've made it to the other side of 2016, HELLO 2017!!! You do know what that means, though, right? No more days off until March! Boo! Hiss! The holiday vacation came and went with nary a breath to savor, and now here we are with nothing to look forward to for three bleak months.

So, what can you do when it never feels like you get a day off? Enjoy the small things! Take a second out to appreciate the stuff in your life. Here are a few things I plan on getting at least a little bit of enjoyment out of in between dragging myself back and forth between obligations.

NXY's Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick Vault.

OMG, this is like the best lip color I have ever tried bar none. Because I go big or go home I got the vault with 24 shades. Sure at $50, it's a bit spendy, but you get a fucking RAINBOW of colors. Funky colors like sky blue, gray, or neon orange that you've always wanted to try, but couldn't quite justify buying if you had to buy a whole tube. Plus it's supplemented with enough neutral, everyday colors that you really will get a lot of use out of it. Also, the formula is well known Kylie Lip Kit dupe for a mere fraction of the cost.

Lush Bath Bombs

Bath bombs, are the, er , uh bomb? And, yeah I know, I know... a bath! How freaking exciting, right? Sure, they may not be bungee jumping exciting, but baths are great, made even greater with the addition of a bath bomb. Just drop one in a tub full of water and watch as it zooms and fizzes around, emitting super jazzy scents, all the while turning the water some funky ass shade! Also, the science behind the whole bath bomb is basically a skin-friendly version of the baking soda/vinegar volcano (replacing the vinegar with citric acid) you made in second grade, making it not only good for your skin but good for your brain as well! SCIENCE!

Mermaid Leggings

Remember when I said I was never going to buy leggings again? BIG SURPRISE!!! I lied. They are super glittery, glam cute (not to be worn in the tub with a bath bomb though) and I got them super cheap off of Amazon ( like eight bucks.) Caveat! You get what you pay for, and what these makeup for in cuteness, they are obviously lacking in the quality department. They have a rough texture, but hell maybe it's just scales!

Well, it's time to back to the grindstone, I guess. Heigh-ho! Heigh-ho!

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

A book by the name of "The Stranger."

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
