There Are A Million Reasons I'm Grateful I Chose To Go To LSU, But Here Are A Few

High school was fun but college has been by far better to me.

My high school experience was great. I grew up with people who shared the same experiences I did because we have been together since 6th grade or some even before. We were a small community where everyone knew each other and it was great for the most part. However, I find myself not missing those days as much as I thought I would.

I moved hours away to a university we looked up to growing up. We had "LSU Day" during Homecoming Week and I grew up watching their football and baseball team. I always knew I wanted to go to LSU and I am so glad I was persistent on going. LSU has been the best school I could've asked for and for all incoming students, you will not be disappointed.

LSU has allowed me to grow into the person I have always wanted to be. I am better than I have ever been and it is because of LSU. I can allow myself to do what I want to do because LSU has so many opportunities that you will not find at many schools. LSU has allowed me to meet friends that have the same interests as I do and push me to be my absolute best. The friends I have made at LSU are beyond better than I could've imagined. I honestly do not understand how I went through life without them. They not only allow me to continue to grow but we grow and mature together. Plus their jokes are the best.

LSU has amazing staff from Chick-fil-A to the academic advisors. They are all extremely nice and helped me tremendously. They are the first people I met at LSU and had a big impact on my choice of going to LSU. They helped me choose my housing, meal plan, literally every little thing I had questions about; they were there to help.

LSU is great for endless educational reasons but it is much more than a school to me. It is my home. I hang out in Tiger Stadium on football weekends, study in Club Mid during midterms and finals week, and hang in the quad in between classes. It gives you so much more than a school. They give you a place to hang out and meet your forever friends. They are more like a community in the city of Baton Rouge. No, everyone doesn't know each other and it is so great. However, we all bond over how great our campus is. There may be times we absolutely want to die like paying fee bills, finals, any test in Himes, or waiting in line at 12:00 p.m. in the Union but we have a lot to look forward to going to LSU. Not only will our college experience be great but after college too.

There are so many LSU graduates that become very successful and that is something we get to look forward to after graduation.

LSU students have so much to be grateful for and we know it. We have the best campus, best mascot, best president, best stadium...you get the point. We have a lot of great things. LSU has so much to offer for any student and you can ask the current LSU students. We will all agree that LSU is by far the best and gives us the best college experience.

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?

sisters

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.

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!)
