Life can sometimes get to be a little too much. Everyone has moments where they feel stressed, anxious, agitated, the list goes on. It can be really hard to find small moments that allow you to breathe.

Let me introduce you to night driving. Some of you may be wondering how exactly something so tedious and at times frustrating can calm you down.

Trust me, they do the trick. Just allow me to paint the picture for you.

There is nothing quite like rolling down the windows on a nice night and feeling the cool wind against your face. Watching the bright lights zip by you and seeing their magical glow on the dark street.

Your favorite tunes blast through the speakers as you sing aloud and dance. Who cares what the people in the car next to you think, you'll never see them again. There is something so nice in being able to catch those moments in life that allow you to just be you.

When attending college it can be really hard to find times that allow you to decompress. Sometimes the prospect of homework, attendance grades, and exams can feel like a constant weight on one's shoulder.

The best and only way to survive and get through college is finding ways to live a little.

So maybe you're not into driving or you don't have a car. Maybe you like partying or watching movies or playing video games. Whatever it is that you like to do to de-stress, keep doing it.

For me, my favorite way will always be night drives. I'm forever thankful for the moments in life that allow me to live a little. Nothing beats grabbing a friend (or going alone), hopping into a car, putting on a killer playlist and just letting loose, even if it's only for a moment.

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.

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?
