Appreciation For The Girls That Have Taught Me To Live In The Moment
Of Opinions

As I sit sipping minty hot chocolate and listening to your sound cloud on full blast, I can't help but smile. I should be doing my homework, but instead I am enthralled by the laughter that is echoing throughout the room. Without you, I would most likely be stressing over all the tasks I have to complete by the end of the day in order to prepare for the upcoming week, but instead I am living in the moment and enjoying your company. We talk about silly things and watch people outside the window walking by. And while there is so much to be done, I do not feel the weight of my workload on my shoulders. As if, all of a sudden, I don't mind doing the two hour latin assignment, because it just means more time studying with my girls.

You help me with my physics when I am stuck on a problem, and in return I edit your english paper. You feed me mac and cheese because even though I never told you I was hungry, you knew it would really make my day. When one of us has to clean her room, we all take on the project, because nothing works better than team work. And really, who are we kidding, you did not make such a mess all by yourself. Your room is my room. We share clothes, paint one another's nails and talk candid pictures of one another when one of us is looking beautiful and happy. You even make me soup when I am sick and become my at-home nurse.

But you girls are so much more than that. You are the ones to reassure me after I get a bad test grade that it is not the end of the world. You boast my confidence when I am super nervous. You make me laugh after I have been crying for hours. And when I just need a good cry, you let me. You give me advice and even yell at me when I am being rude or selfish. Nothing compares to my girls, and without them, I don't know where I would be. Because, while of course my grades and sports performances are vital to my success in the future, they do not teach me to live in the moment and surround myself with people I love.

Dedicated to my bffs & sisters:

Soph, Hills, Ash, Christina, Grace and Stine

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?

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!)
