Because There Is Always Something Better To Do

What is homework?

Because There Is Always Something Better To Do
Daniel Alvarez Sanchez

Studying for the average college student can be v-time consuming and can easily stress us out. It's important to balance out other parts of our lives as well, and take some time for ourselves. This week I decided to make a list of "10 Things I'd Rather Do Than Study." Invest in these ways of procrastination, and enjoy the time of rest.

1. Take a nap.

Who doesn't like naps?! They allow our brains to take a break from those long homework assignments. Treat yo' self, take one, two..hell take three naps if you want to.


2. Take a walk.

Enjoy God's beautiful creation is a great way to relieve some stress and take a breather from those study sessions. If its night time, look at the stars. Day time? Go look at the cloud. Make time to sit and watch the sunset every once in a while.


3. Go out to your favorite fast food place.

Going out to eat at my favorite fast food place is always a great decision after a stressful day of classes. Food always has good company. Who can say no to food?

4. Visit with your favorite people.

Those important people in our lives need attention too, so spending quality time with your friends or loved ones is important.

5. Watch Netflix.

Because binge watching Netflix by yourself in bed is much better than studying. Starting a new series is always better than homework.

6. Take a hot bath while listening to your favorite music.

Because relaxing in a hot bath is a great way to end your day instead of studying. Pop in some John Mayer, Sam Smith, or whatever your heart desires and focus on you!


7. Go shopping.

Retail therapy is sometimes needed.

8. Take your dog to the park.

Taking your furry friend to the park will brighten their day more than yours. They need attention too.

9. Prepare yourself a home cooked meal.

Treating yourself to a healthy meal is sometimes needed after a stressful day.

10. Have a girls night out.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
