10 things you can do instead of complaining about your boyfriend playing 'fortnite'

Stop wasting your energy being jealous of a video game.

If there isn't an organization called "Girlfriends Against Fortnite" by now, I would be shocked. We have all seen the Snapchat stories and Instagram posts that are captioned with something like "The one photo I got of him not playing Fortnite" or "My boyfriend is cheating on me with this hot bitch called Fortnite."

While these posts are hilariously true, I think that the ladies who feel replaced by Fortnite need to recognize that this could be their chance for some WELL-DESERVED "me time." Your boyfriend is going to play Fortnite and I sadly don't see that changing anytime soon, but here are somethings that would be a much better use of your energy than watching him play.

1. Do some self-care

Paint your nails, make-up a new hairdo or makeup look, try meditation, TREAT YO SELF.

2. Go eat your favorite meal

Giphy

Whether it's Chipotle or Jimmy John's, treat yourself to that one meal that always cheers you up. For me, it's some dank truffle Mac and cheese.

3. Watch that movie you've been dying to watch

Giphy

Or that one chick-flick you haven't seen in a while. Nothing gives me a cathartic release of emotion quite like Titanic.

4. Start a new book (or finish the one you’ve been reading for a year)

Giphy

There is about a stack of half-read books on my night stand. That is a problem.

5. Call your mom, dad, grandma, brother, cousin and find out how their life has been

Giphy

No one knows you better than your family, and they will listen to you rant about your boyfriend's antics.

6. Go for a walk without a destination

Giphy

You know that saying 'stop and smell the roses'? Yeah, you should try that sometime.

7. Take a bubble bath

Giphy

I love me a good lavender scented bubble bath. Maybe a cup of tea in tow. That sounds like a pretty lit evening to me.

8. Go get a massage

Giphy

Take an hour to quiet your mind and just be touched by a stranger (not in a creepy way).

9. Workout

Giphy

Working out has always been a stress reliever for me. Nothing helps me calm down quite like a good back squat.

10. Go out for a girls dinner with your besties (or if your bestie is a guy that works too)

Giphy

Drink some wine, eat some good food and talk about those things you can only talk about with your gal pals.

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?
