To My College Friends, Thank You For Being My People

Thank you for doing this crazy thing called life with me.

That one decision to come to college at URI is on the list of one of the best decisions I have made in my life.

It's crazy to think that if even one of us decided to go to another school, the friendships that we formed would have never happened. I could not imagine going through college with any other group of friends and am so glad I met you all. In a way, we grew up together, or at least tried to grow up from the immature, lost and confused 18 year-olds we were when we met.

Going off to college was so scary, but we somehow all gravitated together and formed the amazing friendships we have today. We don't all have this whole "adult thing" down and we kind of just go off each other for advice on things, but I wouldn't want to have it any other way. It's us against the world sometimes, and that's OK because we have each other to lean on.

You are my people, my best friends, my family, my therapists, all compiled into one.

The memories we have made together are ones that I will cherish forever, and not hesitate to bring up at all your weddings. From going out every weekend together, to study sessions, dining hall dates, and trips to the beach, you are all always down for an adventure.

I am proud of each and every one of you, and watching you all follow your dreams and pursuing your degrees, is so inspiring to watch. You are all amazing people who I am blessed to call my friends. No matter where we end up in life, I will always consider you my forever friends. Thank you for always being there to support me, with anything I do and continuing to accept me even after I mess up (which I do often).

Thank you for dragging me out of my bed every weekend and creating memories with me. I can't wait to see what the rest of college has in store for us. It is going to be weird after graduation and not all being a 10-minute drive each other, and not being able to go out and hang out at random hours of the night.

No matter the distance that eventually comes between us, I will always consider you my people, my best friends, my therapists, and my family.

You are my people.

Love always.

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?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

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!)
