Class Is Back In Session

Let the countdown to Summer 2019 begin!

Class Is Back In Session
Joanna Finny

Here's to another summer that went by WAY too quickly. Like me, some of you may have spent it overseas or you may have spent it in your hometown with old friends and loved ones. If you are anything like me, good memories are followed by a very HEAVY case of nostalgia... the kind that leaves you looking through pictures over and over and over again or thinking about something that happened and grinning from ear to ear.

That being said, it's mid-August and classes are right around the corner. Yeah, not exactly the cherry on top to summer but it's coming quick. So as the summer ends, here are 3 ways to get through the nostalgia and get semester ready!

All the pictures are just a click away.

I am a HUGE fan of pictures. To me, there is no such thing as "too many pictures", in other words, you can never have enough! When you do start thinking of the incredible summer you had as you walk to class, the pictures are literally in the palm of your hand. It's okay to reminisce and remember. Actually, it might even help to look back at those memories to amp you up for next summer and the adventures that await you!

Classes aren't the worst thing in the world.

Hang on, let me explain. Yeah, school means projects, exam, and assignments which are not the most thrilling things in the world BUT why are any of us in school in the first place? I would hope that we've all decided to go to college to pursue a bigger dream or aspiration. I know, this is starting to sound a little cliche, but it's true. We come to school and put in work so that, one day, we can do what we love. The fun we put on hold to go to school doesn't come back to us empty. There will be a day when your independent-working-adult self will thank you for what you are doing now!

Summer 2019 is on its way!

With one summer gone, another summer awaits. 9 months SEEMS like a long time to wait for summer, but it will be here before you know it! Until then, we have got Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Easter, Birthdays, Anniversaries and so many other holidays and occasions and success and moments to celebrate. Keep your head up and don't forget to keep the party going until next summer!

Here's to good memories from summer 2018 and to even more incredible moments to come!

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

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?
