My Beloved History major,

Words cannot express how much I adore thee. You have given me so much in the academic world and I will never be able to fully thank you. With you, we have discovered the world in a new light which has not only inspired me to travel and discover the world, but also to look at different cultures in a new light. I know that sometimes, you are seen as one of the most boring things out there, but please don't let that discourage you. With history, I can see something as boring as an old spreadsheet with weird text on it as a treasure map to find the truth. I can be so many things through my major.

I can be a historian.

I can be a teacher.

I can be a professor.

I can work with major companies to work with their history and documents.

I can work in archival research.

I can work in museums.

I can work with archaeologists.

I can work with anthropologists or linguists or ...

I have so many opportunities available to me, and all I have to do is look and it is all thanks to this major. I have been given the skills to do so many thing and to that, I am eternally grateful.

My lovely history major, you are my door to success and have shown me my academic oasis. I will continue to work hard and acknowledge your teachings as I continue past undergrad, because I know what I want to do, and where I want to go because of you. I thank you.


Gratefully yours,

Genovee Dominguez

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

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!)
