Must Haves For The School Year #2

There are things we all need for school, and our must-needs may vary from person to person. Here is what I found that everyone should have one of.

1. An ID holder/keychain

It can hold your money, your school ID, your keys, anything important. Especially between classes and quick errands, you may not want to carry a purse. It is a simple way to keep everything safe and secure and in one spot, so you don't loose it.

2. Mini fridge

This technically is not a must, especially if you and your roommate are willing to share one or if one of you already have one, but it is nice to keep some fresh fruit or some cold drinks on hand and not have to go to the dining hall for small necessitates .

3. Shower shoes

You absolutely 100 percent need these. You do not know who's used the shower before you or if it's totally clean. Protect your feet from the bacteria that may be hiding and from the "gross" floors.

4. Umbrella and rain boots

I found out the hard way that you definitely need rain boots and an umbrella for those heavy down pours when you have class. Class won't be cancelled no matter how hard it is raining.

5. Bed risers

They are cheap and inexpensive and give you a hand in storage space. Lifting your bed up a couple more inches makes a huge difference. It allows you to put so many more things under your bed and not out in the limited open space you have.

These are my absolute musts for school. I hope this inspires you to think of school supplies you may need or want to get now or for the future. Happy school shopping!

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.

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.
